Math: Finally, a regular schedule!!!!  We reviewed and took quizes on algebraic expressions.

ELA:
1. We read "Klondike Kate," reviewed the spelling words, and vocabulary words for this week. There will be a spelling test, a vocabulary test, and a story test on Friday. Students need to reread this story several times to be ready for the test on Friday.
2. Students who have not turned in their Shane's Inspiration paragraphs need to do so tomorrow.

History: We read about the French colonization of North America. We reviewed the ongoing power struggle between England, Spain, and France. We began discussing the seeds of the American Revolution with the French and Indian War.  Students need to ask their parents what would make the parents upset enough with the US in order to wage war against the US?  (This is to show the seriousness of the English colonists waging war against their own country.)
