Math
Today, we reviewed the homework from yesterday and two days ago. I got every problem right. Woohoo! We then practiced problems on the whiteboards. We practiced some problems like if 15 counters is 3/8 of the set, how much is the whole set? The answer is 40. We also practiced different problems. After that, we practiced volume yet again. We just worked on a couple pages in our math journal.

L.A.
Today, we wrapped up our poker chip game. Only one more person had to go. He shared his job which was master of the minds. He was supposed to write down what two characters may have been thinking in that section. I thought he did an excellent job. After the game was done, we were allowed to start reading section 2. We only got to read one chapter. The rest is supposed to be homework for Monday. *sniff.*

S.S.
Today, we started the 13 colonies test. We still had that “speed test” as a part of the test, and we beat the other classes, again! It was amazing. That wasn't it though. We also had some short answer questions to fill in. I got them pretty easily and finished my test. After everyone finished, we started to fill out more of our study packet. We filled out information on the founder, and the purpose of the creation of the Carolinas and much more. That was pretty easy. There was a huge fill in the blank section for why Carolina got divided into South Carolina and North Carolina. It was from some guy named John Oglethorpe who wanted certain countries away from the area.
