Sewing, Dribbling, and Cannonfire

Today we discussed varied topics from the invention of the sewing machine by Isaac Singer (it turned out a little more interesting than it seemed at first), read about a young man named Jimmy Naismith who ended up creating the sport of basketball (even if the story was a fictionalized account), we read about the men and women of the Revolutionary War--along with the bloody footprints in the snow at Valley Forge, and then we learned about animal habitats and the kids worked in groups to create their own animals. (And no, despite what you just read, we did not learn about run-on sentences today. Maybe we should have.)

Homework for homeroom tonight: 3x each for Spelling, and pages 74-75 in their white pages for Social Studies [they should only have to do 13.4-13.8 tonight; 13.2 and 13.3 should already be finished].

Math: Study Link 10.2. I am foregoing the fraction review page tonight.
