Mercer enjoyed celebrating the birthday of one of his peers and he enjoyed a slice of ice-cream cake after lunch. When we returned to the room, we reviewed spelling rules. Mercer was given a word list that supported and offered examples for each of the rules, and he was given a spelling activity tasking him with applying the rules.Mercer began coughing considerably in the class, so we went outdoors where he spent the latter part after being invited to participate in an activity with a peer.
