In today's class, we finished our discussion on photosynthesis, including watching a video on the Calvin cycle. Cameron then worked on an activity that covered what he learned on photosynthesis. This activity included a guided reading passage along with questions related to the passage.

Cameron worked online and independently. He logged in to Vocabulary.com and completed two rounds of 'Thanksgiving: Eat Your Words!' practice list.
