Period 1 - 2
We completed Chapter 7 in Tom Sawyer and discussed sarcasm in writing. In Social Studies, we completed our group posters on Hamilton and Jefferson, compared and contrasted the two men and charted what we found out. Finally, we began looking at the political spectrum; more to come on Monday! Bring your ASB cards to class Monday morning!
Period 3
We completed Chapter 4 in Tom Sawyer; we wrote to a prompt in class for the first 10 minutes, explaining what we do when bored. Monday, we will read Chp. 5 and see what Tom does while bored!
Period 5 -6

We read Chapter 9 outloud in class; completed pages 207-0 in our Daybooks; in Social Studies, we finished our posters, compared and contrasted Jefferson and Hamilton, checked our knowledge to see if we could attribute a set of quotes to the correct gentleman; read Chapter 10.2 and looked for information on money and banking (our last point of contrast between Hamilton and Jefferson). We answered questions on page 309 in our Social Studies books - #1, #2 (only the Bank of the United States),#3 (only bonds, tariffs and National Bank) and #4 (a and b).
