What we did 
Today was a double block day.  Anyways, in the first block, we talked about what we were going to do until spring break.  For example, on the board, Ms. Lees wrote Wednesday-There will be wolves Chapter 1-5  quiz.  After she was done with that, she asked if anyone was going to be away before spring break or after spring break.  Therefore, she told the people that will be away that they have to finish the 'There will be wolves' chapter questions before they left.  Then, we went over Chapter 1-5 of 'There will be wolves' until break.  After we came back from the break, we had the Chapter 1-5 quiz.  After, Ms. Lees gave the rest of class time to finish Chapter 10 questions, or to finish the notes.  Our day was done after that.

Why we did it
Today, Ms. Lees talked about what we were going to do until spring break because Ms. Lees  had a water leak at her house, so she could be absent any time.  Therefore, she told us beforehand what was going to happen.  We reviewed the Chapter 1-5 of 'There will be wolves' not just because we had a quiz, to make us understand what happen in the book and to make us ask questions about it.  After the review, we had the quiz to check our understandings.  After that, Ms. Lees gave us the quiet working time so that some behind guys can catch up on novel questions or to finish the notes for the Medieval role project.

Connections/Reflections
I really loved that we got the quiet working time.  I like quiet working time because if you have the quiet working time in class, you can work hard, and have no homework!  Some of us were loud and obnoxious in the working time, so I think our class can improve on staying on task.  I didn't really like that chapter 1-5 quiz but as a student, it is something we have to do because without tests, the teachers won't know what we learned.

Homework/Tips
For Friday, finish up to Chapter 10 for'There will be wolves'.  Also, you have to finish the notes for the Medieval role project with the bibliography by Friday and you have to bring it! You can also study for upcoming quizzes or tests.  On Friday, we have test on 'There will be wolves' again.  FLEX is tomorrow(Thursday) so if you have any questions, you should go to FLEX.
