Tuesday, October 14

Student Council - Pink Out tomorrow Wednesday, October 15th. Student council will be selling pink and white bracelets to support Breast Cancer Research. Wear pink and then go support our football teams at the Blue vs White game at 7:00 on Hurley Field.

ELA - Students reviewed internal conflicts or metaphorical dragons that we face on a daily basis and that Jonas faces in the book The Giver in Day 7 of our Reader's Workshop. We then had over 35 minutes to finish reading the book. The students reviewed the charts from the last few days, Jonas' Life Map, Conflicts and Resolutions, and Nuanced Characters to be sure they are all filled in to get appropriate credit for the Journal Entries. Home journal entries can be rough drafts for different sections for the Project! That way a little is getting done each night and journal entries are being done. Double bonus! Homework: Journal entry #1.37 Finish The Giver. The Giver Final Project is attached.
