Today in class Emily K was suppose to go but she wasn't in school today. So instead we got to watch this AWESOME movie.......NOT! about Alexander, Darius, and the Battle of Gaugamela. It was pretty interesting seeing people get there leg chopped off by spikes and people getting stabbed in the throat. Tomorrow not sure what the class will be like. Hopefully Emily is back so she can do her power point. Some notes I took about the movie are:

Today was a very fun class and they pie was great! Thanks again Emily. 

Today was our first class back from break. It was a good class. We got to see the way Mr. Schick wants our power point from his own power point he made it his class he is taking. We got time in class to touch up our power points. Tomorrow in class we will have to present them to the whole class. In class today we just presented them to someone in the class. Tomorrow's class should be interesting. Emily Waite is bringing in pie for her project and just seeing everybody's power point should be fun, but I think mine will be the best of them all!
