The students were so happy to have new seat assignments today!  It's always good to have opportunities to work with new partners.  We'll plan on keeping our current arrangement for the next five or six weeks. :) 

We have a fever/sore throat bug going through our class right now, so I'm encouraging everyone to get plenty of rest, drink lots of liquids and wash/sanitize their hands often.  Prayers for the students' immune systems would be greatly appreciated.

6th Literature: No assignment (we read ch 12 in class); Ch 11 vocab due today
6th Science: Flight forces:  Thrust & Drag; no new assignment
