We began the week with scheduled books talk presentations and a trip to the library. All book talks, including any make-ups or redoes, are due on either Monday or Tuesday during class.

Also this week, students are practicing their close reading skills and selecting critical details from the reading for additional study. Students were provided time in class on Tuesday and Wednesday to complete the assignment. On Thursday, students made inferences from their collection of details to deepen their understanding of the texts through a close examination of the characters.


Grades in the SIS Portal are being updated frequently in preparation for the end of the semester. Students may still submit revisions on their argumentative essay and their informative essay. No other assignments are being accepted at this time. To support student success, I will be available after school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Social Studies –

This week students have been exploring the impact of geography on ancient Greece.  This is the first non-river valley civilization that we have looked at this year, so we have been examining the differences.  We will continue to look at the history and development of ancient Greece until Winter Break.  When we return, we will start preparing for the Greek Myth Project.

I will be accepting late assignments until December 18th.
