Today we had another wonderful class of PE. The people for the Underground Railroad got their lines and practiced outside. The choir worked with Sue. We worked on our historical fiction stories and finally, we figured out all the materials for our costumes. It was a working day. Have a great weekend. S.H.

The pictures are from Tuesday's trip to the Smith McDowell House. Where we learned about slave auctions, the life of a slave, and life in the 1800s.

Yesterday we went to the play “freedom train” at the Civic Center. We heard all the songs we learned in expedition and music class. Today we had fun in technology learning about Power Point, we all made a cool page about anything we wanted after we did are jobs we read a Paul Jennings story it was a story about a boy who could only say something without saying “with out a shirt” after every word.

Our class went to technology and typed a story on the computer. Then every five minutes we switched computers and wrote another thought. It really helped with typing skills. For morning work we worked on our Quilt squares. Each one represents… rotation, reflection, and translation. Today in writing we were working on our slave stories. The slave stories are where we write a story about a slave and there life. We are doing are ruff draft right now. In math groups we are working on division.
