Christmas Season Has Arrived
Our first Advent celebration will be this coming Monday.  We've been decorating our doors for the Student Council Best Dressed Door Contest and we've been decorating our school.  Report cards were handed out this past Monday and teachers have been busy arranging conferences with families.  Today, the teachers are playing volleyball against the boy and girl teachers, so let's pray no one got injured...of course, I'm referring to teachers.

8ELA-We did our multi-unit spelling test and our pronoun unit test. I also collected Journals.  8M had time to do their door and general school decorating.  We've been working on expressing our feelings about war through fiction reading, on-line research, and letter writing.  HOMEWORK:  8M-SOLDIER LETTER FINAL DRAFT, 8B-SOLDIER LETTER RESEARCH.

7GSS-We continued learning about climate via a worksheet that had us use climographs to better understand the climate at different point of latitude and within different zones.  We then took the time to analyze a global climate map looking for patterns or uniqueness among the continents.  HOMEWORK:  CLIMATE WORKSHEET.

8SS-Due to the teacher-student volleyball game, students didn't get their SS class.  However, yesterday we learned about education in ancient Egypt.  HOMEWORK:  EGYPTIAN EDUCATION Q 1-6.
