Advanced Art grade 8: "Shattered Values" project is displayed in front showcase. Students are currently working on "Non-objective Circular" colored pencil drawings.

Language Arts: Students began with reading and or AR quizzes, AR quiz #2 for Second Marking Period was due today. At some point this year students will need to read and take an AR quiz on The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Students that chose to take one over the break were assigned a book. This will count toward the 3 AR quizzes due each marking period. We then did Literary Analysis Day 4 and we picked out an part of their short story to debate, with back up information.  Have a great break!

Algebra (Hill): Finish the chapter 5 test on page 349... except for problems 7, 8, and 9 which will not be checked.

Spanish I: The only homework over the break is to begin studying for the Spanish midterm (which will around January 17th - study guides have been passed out and are on my Berkley website, not the blog). ¡Felices fiestas!
