Happy Early Thanksgiving! Just an FYI - Jerry Harms will be subbing for me on 11/17 &18 as well as 11/28 & 29 while I fly to Regina, SK to be with my husband. He had knee replacement surgery this past Monday and he needs me with him as he recovers and to accompany him on his flight back to the states. The kids are in terrific hands and I trust they will do just fine!

In English - In the standard blocks we started To Kill a Mockingbird -- they have a question/character log/vocabulary packet to work on as we go through the book. We have already started the book this week (they should be through ch. 3 by Friday) and they are expected to read through ch. 8 by the Monday following break (this is about 10 pages a day).

Block 2 is reading Al Capone Does My Shirts - ask them what they are learning about the depression, Alcatraz, Autism, etc...

Blocks 1 and 3 took their WSH ch. 6 quiz today --- we will be working on ch. 7 when I return
Block 2 - finished work on ch. 5 WSH - ch. 6 will be covered after break

All blocks are continuing to watch Frontier House - very fun supplement to our study of the frontier :)

No new grades will be entered until I return from Canada --- to hard to carry papers with me all that way. Thanks for your understanding! kw
