It was a huge relief when I asked the students today how many of them and their parents read this thing on a regular basis. Glad to know everybody's getting their information.
As for homework tonight, the kids have a study link in math, a spelling test tomorrow, and then the bigger one is that they have a compare and contrast essay (just two paragraphs) due tomorrow. I also gave them the example essay that we wrote in class. This should be a guideline on how to write it, along with the rubric at the bottom.
We also discussed Colonial Days and next week's BizTown.
