Class auction scheduled for this Thursday at 12:25.  We are always looking for fun items to put up on the block!

Projects: Students will continue to research and work on presentations and infographics for their ecosystem projects. They are working so hard on this! Vocabulary quiz this Thursday on ALL ecosystem vocabulary!

7th Grade Reading: This week students will take a person, place or idea about the Civil War and work with a partner to create a poster about it. Partners will present the posters on Thursday!

Writing: We are trying to finish the causes of the Civil War essays. This is the last major paper due this quarter and kids should finish up tomorrow. We will end the quarter with some fun writing from Kelly Gallagher's book Write Like This.

8th Grade Reading: This week students will study the five major religions in the world and work in groups to create a poster or presentation about one of them. This will take us into the Middle Ages when we start the 2nd quarter. I'm so excited.....we're going to read King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table!

Homework this week:
7th: 20 minutes of reading OR study science vocabulary terms
8th: 20 minutes of reading (if students in other projects classes have a quiz this week on vocabulary they may use the 20 minutes to study also)
