After recess we had a discussion in Socials on the belief that the world is flat rather than round. (Still believed by the Flat Earth Society). The students then worked on a title page for our new Socials unit, Exploring the New World, the coming of Europeans to North America.

In math we corrected the two pages assigned on Friday and Assigned pages 256 and 257. These pages are on ordering and comparing fractions. Most students have the concept of writing fractions, and ordering fractions with like denominators and most students easily finished the two pages of work.

After lunch those students not in choir listened to and did a one page report on the Victoria born Nelly Furtado. This was followed by a reading period then Music with Mrs. Awalt.
