Wednesday, May 6

 Today in Writing Workshop, each student chose ONE of these approaches to building our class poem to be presented at Moving Up; in this way, we began the process of reflecting upon Middle School and eighth grade.  🙂

Due Thursday:

• Timeline for FDR Ch. 8 due.
• Finish TKAM (Ch.27-31) Do NOT give away the ending! Be quiz ready!

•  

  * NOTE there will be NO IWP tomorrow in school. We will have a whole eighth grade meeting with Mark, Momii and me about the trip to Gettysburg and DC.  Our trip leaves a week from tomorrow!

  Due Tuesday:

  1. Start FDR ch.8 “War Clouds”  about WWII by reading pages 127-133 (3 1/2 pages of text) and start the time line that is loaded here. Stop after you complete a description of November 9, 1938: Kristallnacht.  (We will continue the FDR 8 and time line together in class tomorrow and complete this introduction to WWII prior to our visit to the Holocaust Museum in DC).
  1. Read To Kill a Mockingbird ch. 26 & 27 (13 pages) and be quiz-ready, of course!
