8ELA-We had Reading Class today which was followed by a theme class during which I introduced the non-fiction writing assignment.  Students must choose between four types of non-fiction and create a paragraph on a specified topic.  HOMEWORK:  SPELLING TEST TOMORROW.  NON-FICTION PARAGRAPH ROUGH COPY DUE MONDAY.

8SS-We discussed sources of history and the meaning of history.  We made notes and read our text on the topic.  NO HOMEWORK.

7SS-We did a quick oral review of the physical features of North America then "explored" South America in our atlas.  We learned that lakes there have funny names.  Based on this quick look at maps, we made predictions on our worksheets.  NO HOMEWORK.
