Day 62
I know super late but today I had many unexpected scenarios rise up.
CNN Students
“Real” democracy reigns again in Egypt and we talked about how excited their citizens were to vote and make their voice count. We talked about why a majority of elections in the USA do not create that type of excitement and turnout. They are also holding elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As a class we learned the difference between the two countries with the name Congo in them. They then had an interesting piece about how the evaporation of the snow in the mountains has endangered many Alpacas (i.e. llama drama). So the alpaca farmers are going Tom Sawyer on the mountains in hope of bringing down their internal temperature.
Another 60+ minutes working on our math assessments.
We then reviewed last night’s grammar lesson. We used the response devices so we could discuss the handful of problems that the class scored under 75%.
Here is today’s grammar homework. Click here.
Science rotation...
Math -- The entire class did some more practice with fractions. Again more emphasis on how to go about adding and subtracting fractions.
