We started our morning with another math quiz about decimals and fractions, this time to clear up misunderstandings from the previous quiz. Hopefully everyone's comprehension is clear now.
Mr. Redding took the kids to PE where they developed their baseball skills.
After recess, we continued our study about hydraulic fracturing (a.k.a. fracking). After watching several short videos (see links), students wrote - in their words - what fracking is and how it's done.

Upon our return, we had a few more French presentations; there are still students who have not finished theirs. Tomorrow will be the final opportunity for presenting.
