Wednesday, October 8

Projects:
Students are working on building understanding of Reconcstruction, the Black Codes, and Jim Crow Laws.  We will start online posters using Glogster on Monday.

8th Grade Reading:
In poetry, students completely wowed me (that might not be a word) with their role playing with the poem "Speak Up."  We will continue building reading skills through CAFE tomorrow and next week.

7th Grade Reading:
My 7th graders impressed me, also, with their role playing.  I'm hoping that poetry is growing on everyone, and that by the end of the year we will all be a little better at analyzing it.  Tomorrow is chapter 2 of The Outsiders.  They're loving this book already.

Writing:
Continuing work on Chautauqua timelines and presentations.  Students are doing a great job, but it's crunch time. :)  I'm seeing some great costumes coming together.....You have to love Thrifty Finds!

Tomorrow is Pizza Thursday.  Can't believe how the weeks fly by!
