We completed a "Going With the Flow" Venn diagram activity and some Lesson 1 Math catch-up in the morning.  In the afternoon we worked on the Experiment write-up for the Change stations we did last week.

Monday HW
We had 21 students in class today.  I did not start new work as a result.  We had a presentation from the Peace by PEACE conflict resolution skills presenters and Officer Eric Berridge this morning.  In the afternoon students received their Book Club novels and groupings.  Book Club is different from the Novel study group activity.  It is primarily an oral delivery.  We used the afternoon periods to ensure we wwere caught up with Science and Social Studies work and to check on our experiments.

1.  Book report #3 is due on Thursday February 12.  I announced the due dates in the package the students received in the Fall.  There is one more after this one due on Thursday April 9.  These dates are in my calendar on the blog.
2.  Book Club reading.  This is 15 new pages from the point students left off this afternoon.
