We gave our answers to the "how do you... in space" and watched a few more videos!

HW: You had more than enough class-time to work on these questions today. Please finish them for homework. We will be reading through the text tomorrow as a class, and going over the answers.

Today we talked about Remembrance day. We did a listening activity where you filled in the blanks, and then you worked on making mini presentations on the symbolism of different flowers/plants. You will be presenting them on Thursday (I will give you some time at the beginning of class to finish them up.)
