It took me a few hours but I did figure out the technical glitch with our geography test that we took yesterday. As usual, it was user error. I did have to have the students take the geography test again, but it got them out of having an assignment today. The science test went off without a hitch. The rest of the day was a bit unusual as well. We had our pictures taken today and we got a little long on our current events class, but in the end we got done with what we needed to.

Spelling and memory work are due tomorrow! Don't forget!

Hey there, how ya doing? We are doing ok. The students are trying to adjust to a new teacher and a new way of doing things and I am adjusting to the abilities of a new group of kids. We took our first geography test today. Due to a technical issue, I don't have the grades for those yet, but I hope they went well. We also talked about metaphors and looked at a few of Shakespeare's. We also reviewed how to do the question and answer flow for English.
