Today started off with a great morning meeting from Danial about his camping excursion with his father this weekend.  There was some pond ice destruction, but everyone was alright.

In My Brother Sam is Dead, Tim finds himself in the tavern with Patriot captain Benedict Arnold.  Sam must be back in town!

Math's focus was dividing fractions.  Not too tricky!  Just reciprocate the second fraction and multiply instead of divide.

Dr. Hertz took over for me in the afternoon, as I had to go to the District Office to talk about Twitter and technology.  Students reread and pulled text evidence about how Anita Roddick's family helped her succeed.
