Remember we sing in first service December 5th.

Greetings one and all! Today we looked at converting decimals to percents to fractions and so on. We also finished up with Central and then Southern Europe, including a little time for WW1 and 2. We did some review for Science, and started a research paper with three resources. So far the papers have been pretty good, but we need to keep working on the other items, like the bibliography and the outlines and so on. Remember to refer to Chapter 17!

We also heard about Billy and the Ghost Coon. They found him, but something bad is about to happen and we will have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

Speaking of tomorrow, BISON DAY!

Amazing how the time flies by! We talked about ratios and simple probability today. Then we started our talk about the history of Europe. It is a challenge to talk about a few thousand years of history involving what we now consider over forty countries in 30 min! We talked about soil formation, and then we moved on to rising action in a plot. After all of that, we had little time to read any of that rising action.
