Wednesday, October 15

Flocabulary homework due tomorrow (Thursday) for both 8th and 7th reading students!

Projects:
We are still work on glogs to who an in depth understanding of Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and Black Codes.

8th Grade Reading:
Poetry Wednesday!!!  Kids read and annotated the poem "The Poison Tree," by William Blake.  I am LOVING how these 8th graders are responding to poetry and going deep with it.

7th Grade Reading:
Same as 8th grade today.  Seventh graders love poetry, also, and are working to think critically about it and find meaning in figurative language.

Writing:
Working on Chautauqua presentations.  The students worked hard today to memorize these.  Tomorrow we will practice and dress up.  I will time them and work on building a presentation schedule.
