Can’t believe it is already October!

Yesterday students took their Chapter 1 assessment.  During that time I checked their chapter 1 reading notes and their bellwork.

They also received the chapter 2 illustrated dictionary, which is due on Monday.

Today we went over the test, and then watched a video on prehistoric cave art.  We were only able to watch the first 15-20 minutes of it, so any absent students can watch it, or students if they like can finish the video.
