A beautiful day with beautiful learning going on.
Today the students completed their projects and we begin presenting them tomorrow. We usually present until the class becomes extremely squirrely since seeing 18 different projects can take a little bit of time.
Math -- we reviewed and analyzed all 40 questions with the mathathon project. As a class the students struggled with subtracting with fractions, large division and some place-value (specifically decimals).
Here is another lesson on dividing fractions.

Word problem with division & fractions
Social studies test -- it was all based on our notes.

Grammar -- reviewed commas and discussed contemporary grammar versus classical grammar.
CNN students -- Questions on what it takes to run and become the President of the USA, unrest in South Africa since there is a shortage of college opportunities and rioting & protesting in Syria.
Kind regards,
