October 18, 2011

For all classes - Final memoirs are due THURSDAY. Please bring snacks to share while we have our reading/sharing time in class that day. We will be creating our own "Coffee Shop" in the classroom - with hot chocolate instead of coffee, of course!
Also, there will be NO VOCAB TEST this Friday - we will be having counselor presentations during Language Arts.

We reviewed our SlaveShip activity from Monday and read about the "Middle Passage". We completed an analysis grid and wrote a reflection about our experience. For Language Arts, we got back our edited memoirs, worked on corrections for our final (due this Thursday) and completed our group topics for Light in the Forest.

Block 2
We got back our edited memoirs, worked on corrections for our final (due this Thursday) and completed our group topics for Light in the Forest.

Block 3

The letters will be due on Friday. For Language Arts, we got back our edited memoirs, worked on corrections for our final (due this Thursday) and completed our group topics for Light in the Forest.
