Course 3: Students continued to work on their common core lesson. We are really having fun! They had to match 10 graphs to 10 stories and then put them on construction paper. Homework is to read a story and create a graph to go with it.

8th ELA - Students had the period to read, take Summer Reading AR quizzes, and set up their Writer's Journals. I checked materials and for the most part students had everything. If they did not have an AR book I offered to let them go down to the Media Center and check one out...every student should have a novel in class everyday.

Art 7/8:  Review of yesterdays watercolor techniques demonstration. Today students design plan for sketchbook cover including the quote.

Advanced Art 8: Students continue review worksheets about the Elements and Principles of Design. Monday students will begin their first still life drawing. Sketchbooks will be needed on Monday.

Humanities: Students reviewed questions about perspective, discussed current events and analyzed news sources in class. No homework. Have a wonderful weekend.
