A Quiet Day

Garrison Keillor begins many of his Prairie Home Companions by saying, “It’s been a quiet week in Lake Woebegone, my home town.” Well, it was a quiet day in room 19, our hometown.

We did a little more catching up on our Open Court Reading notebooks. Most students are pretty much finished here or close to it. In the Tech Center, Gary Meyers, Mac’s dad, introduced us to the world of Google Sketchup. This is a totally cool program, and there is a free version of it which you can download from Google’s website. I am adding it to our class computers as I write this. After lunch, we checked, corrected, and discussed our homework. We went out to PE. We came back where we took a math test and started homework.

Homework:  (1) Do spelling sentences. Only one word per sentence! (2) Do “Turns and Degrees,” Math, pages 530-531. (3) Do “Measure Angles,” Math, pages 532-533.
