8ELA-We started writing today.  We spent time on Pre-Writing, the first step in the writing process.  We then moved onto creating a first draft or sloppy copy.  It needs to be two pages, double-spaced, and it doesn't have to be pretty since we'll be revising it on Monday.  HOMEWORK:  FIRST DRAFT SUMMER VACATION REPORT.

8SS-We spent time thinking about the definition of "history" and why we study it.  NO HOMEWORK.

7SS-We were thinking about what we see on the map and whether we could travel around the world with the help of six degrees of separation.  NO HOMEWORK.
