8ELA-I collected the summer memory paragraphs which represent the students' best writing at this point in time.  We then read "The Tom-Cat" which is a poem focussing on mood.  We also spent some time today reviewing our first drafts from poems we started yesterday.  HOMEWORK:  READING JOURNALS DUE TOMORROW, SPELLING TEST TOMORROW, SECOND DRAFT SENSES/SWIFT-SLOW POEMS DUE TOMORROW.

8SS-I collected homework today on primary and secondary sources and we corrected the worksheet together as a class.  We then started a discussion on world view by viewing interesting drawings and asking ourselves:  what do I see?  NO HOMEWORK.

7SS-We started learning about latitude and longitude and will continue this tomorrow.  NO HOMEWORK.
