What We Learned Today...November 16th

Be sure to read some more this weekend and get some AR points next week!

We started out the morning with a half hour of AR time once again.  I must say I'm quite impressed with some of the students in this class. We already have 3 students in our class that are over 100 AR points! That is absolutely amazing, well done to those students! 
During ELA we continued to work on writing the second draft of the Ghost Stories from last week.  Note: All second drafts must be completed by Monday, November 19th as we will be editing and then writing the Good Copy next week.  At 10:45 the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fense today because Ms. Norris was away for the day. 

In Religion the students had the half hour to continue to work on their Saint Poster Assignment.  (This assignment will be due on Wednesday, November 21st)  After Religion the students had Health with Mr. McCulloch. Students please make sure you hand in all outstanding assignments to Mr. McCulloch by Monday as there are far too many NHI assignments. 
For the last hour of the day students got back into their groups from the last Social class and wrote up Trade Proposals for the other fictitious countries.  Next class the students will get the chance to actually negotiate trades with each country. 

This was a great week and not because it was a short week!  We got a lot accomplished and it is just a pleasure to come to the school each day knowing I have such a great group of students to work with!
