1. Dan-dan & Zeb; big math and math practice books

2. history: Zeb, continue code book. Dan-dan, we are going to read about John Rockefeller, one of te most famous big businessmen of the 19th century.

3. science: Dan-dan big science book, zeb and dan-dan, another section of the chemistry workbook together.

4. English: Act ONe, scene 2 of Othello. Carefully read Iago's passages and Othello's. What is Iago saying here, and who is he talking about?

Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
Yet do I hold it very stuff o' the conscience
To do no contrived murder: I lack iniquity
Sometimes to do me service: nine or ten times
I had thought to have yerk'd him here under the ribs.

Note that these words at the opening are addressed to Othello. Iago is saying he lacks the courage for cold-blooded killing -- so really he has to find someone else to do the dirty work for him. yerked = stabbed.
