Tuesday the 16th!

Tomorrow is picture day for our class!

Projects:
Finished "Gone With the Wind" and went over our new project timeline.  Materials for the art project we start Thursday should be sent in by then.  Thank you, as always, for all of your support here!

8th Grade Reading:
Finished "Gone With the Wind" and moved into some prereading activities for Uncle Tom's Cabin. 

Writing:
Worked on our sentence of the week skill (coordinating conjunctions) and went over the grading rubric for our narratives.

7th Grade Reading:
Finished "Gone With the Wind," then moved into reading Two Miserable Presidents.  Students are working on discussion questions associated with each section.  We focused on pulling details and evidence from the book to support each answer.  I reminded them that full credit will not be given without text support and evidence.

We wrapped up the day with a TRIBES activity called "Two Truths and a Lie."  We loved learning facts, as well as one lie, about our classmates.

I continue to be amazed at the work ethic these students have.  I love teaching students who genuinely want to learn and go deeper every time.  These kids all want that.  Thank you for sharing them with me.
