Humanities: Students shared KWLs and discussed current event and class grading scales in preparation for Curriculum Night this evening. No homework. 

ELA (Kennedy) - Students reviewed last night's Grammar and we discussed any questions.  We then started Grammar 1.7-1.8  EVERYONE should be at least half-way through their first novel of the year.  I have brought the class to the Media Center, sent students down to check out new books, and offer a great classroom library.  Please check with your student and talk about the book they are currently reading, you might like it as well.  Remember our goal is a book every two weeks.  If students are reading for at least 30 minutes a night, they should be there by now! Hope to see all at Curriculum Night Tonight!
