Tuesday

Projects:  We are discussing the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, as well as the process of making changes to the constitution.  Students will summarize all of this information and put it into a newspaper on Thursday.

8th Grade Reading:  Students are learning more about poetic devices and figurative language.  Tomorrow, they will create posters that depict several types of figurative language.  We are also continuing our reading of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

7th Grade Reading:  We are finishing up Two Miserable Presidents this week, as well as all of the comprehension questions.  We will start our next book, The Outsiders, on Thursday or Monday.  I can't wait for this!  I love this novel, and look forward to sharing it with these kids.

Writing:  Students are researching their chautauqua character and putting information into their notes.
