Answer question 1 on page 116 in the form of a journal response.
The question reads:
All of us are fated at various times in life to share the kind of painful disappointment experienced by Tony Jarvis. Do you remember the anguish felt upon the discovery that Santa Claus was not quite the flesh-and-blood saint presented to you for so many years? Did you find out that an adult you admired was not perfect? Did you have a pet die?
Describe in one paragraph a major disappointment that you have experienced. Do not write a story or detailed narrative; concentrate, instead, on re-creating the original emotional impact of the event. Your disppointment need not be as "big" as Tony's; sometimes it is the littlest disppointments in life that bring the most pain.

I handed out the service hours proposals for those who had not already printed them themselves. It turns out that everyone needed one.

Social Studies
more geography! We went over the Latitude and Climate worksheet and started going over 6-11. We'll finish that off next class.
Homework:
Finish 6-10 (Computing Distance) and the other side (Telling Time).
Please note, with computing distance, 1 degree of longitude has a different number of miles depending on the line of latitude the point we're interested is on. For example, question 1a) How many miles from point A to B? We look at where point A is (50 degrees N 0 degrees). The chart tells us that at 50 degrees N or S, one degree of longitude is 45 miles. Point B is at 50 degrees N 30 degrees E, so 45 x 30 = ???
