At the end of the period, we can get a little silly. Ezra shows his love for his mom and Joe can complete a Rubic’s Cube in one minute, seven seconds. We were amazed.
Apparently this school is under attack by a wide range of illnesses. 🙂 Wash your hands and get rest.
Today in class we made sure we were all finished with Act III, then we did the questions 1-8 on page 773. Write question and answer. Highlight or underline the answer.
No homework. We got further into Act III and caught up a little with the video. (Parents, we are watching the 1968 version.)
