Projects:
We are hoping to finish our art project for Civil War battles tomorrow. The students are working so hard, and they are looking great!

8th Grade Reading:
We are reading two poems and annotating them (homework tonight).  Students are becoming more familiar with poetry and how to pull certain attributes out.  We also finished reading chapter 4 of Uncle Tom's Cabin.  I'm so impressed with how they respond to this very difficult text.

Writing:
Narratives were turned in and we are moving into working on Chautauquas for Civil War.  These will be researched and written in class.  Students should be thinking about who they want to "be."

7th Grade Reading:
Students finished comprehension question for Two Miserable Presidents.  They also worked on annotating two poems, and will finish them for homework tonight.  I love teaching poetry, and the kids are responding well to it.

**Parents, thank you so much for sending in all of the supplies for projects.  I know this can be stressful and I want you to know how much I appreciate it.
