      Thankfully the 30th day of the school year was much better than the 29th day. Hopefully spirits will remain high tomorrow despite another Cubs loss in the NLCS. Here's a quick recap of what went down in Room 307 today.
       In reading class, students took their Week 7 vocabulary quiz, which
will be the last vocabulary assessment on the novel Seedfolks. Tomorrow we will officially move into the awesome informational text The Great Fire by Jim Murphy. 
       In social studies, we reviewed the second part of the Chapter 1 exam. Unfortunately, the results for this part of the exam were not as high as the first part of the exam. With that said, the review was much needed, and I am expecting better results on the Chapter 2 content test. Additionally, we continued with CNN Student News, learning about Hong Kong's doggedness to become a full democracy and the confederate flag controversy at Ole Miss. 
        In writing, we did our two samples of Daily Oral Language and then reviewed yesterday's D.O.L. quiz, specifically focusing on the continued need to grasp the simple subject, predicate and complete subject. All in all, it was a good day, including the first Battle of the Books meeting, which I will write about in a few minutes.
