Tristan completed homework such as, math - finding factors and language arts - completing fifteen minutes of Reading Eggs, spelling words, identifying letters, and matching words with pictures.

Matthew worked on two English assignments.

We then worked together to dissect Macbeth and answer some of the study questions.

We highlighted along the way some of the distinguishing features of The Bard.

Spencer and I continue to have the conversation of choices determine consequences. Spencer confidently determined the missing length of given rectangles. He was tasked with rereading 'The Red Hat' and then answering questions about the genre. Given vocabulary from the story, he did well matching the word with the definition. Additionally, Spencer was asked to write a story that had make-believe elements. He wrote about Gatorade, Powerade and Energy Drink having a conversation and having breakfast together.

What is the farming revolution? Were there two agricultural revolutions or just one? What might be the effects of each? We talked about how different historians label occurrences and trends differently, and have different perspectives and that most historians believe that there were two.

Spencer enjoyed eating the spaghetti and meatballs he made in cooking class. He completed an activity that involved determining the meaning of multi-meaning words. Spencer located all the sh words before reading a passage. Additionally, Spencer practiced finding the area of given rectangles.

We discussed different perspectives on the news: what are the actual facts? How do we know? To whom do we listen? We talked about critical thinking and how to decide for oneself. Then, since we decided how we could interpret the news differently depending on the sources and our own personal views, we were able to talk about what was going on and what possible remedies, if any, were necessary, remembering that we might have different views.

We were to discuss some of the points that Matthew may consider discussing with his English teacher.

Matthew was absent.

Spencer was motivated to do his science homework first because it involved hermit crabs. He researched three facts about hermit crabs and then came up with three things he would like to know about hermit crabs. Spencer was tasked with finding his way through a maze by solving division facts. He proofread short sentences, correcting for misspelled words, capitalization and end punctuation. Spencer practiced writing his spelling words on the whiteboard.

Tristan completed homework such as math - solving three division problems and two six-digit addition problems; language arts - reading a paragraph with 'sh' words and completing an acting, writing 'c' or 'k' based on what the picture showed. Tristan did excellently solving his math problems.
