10/19 - 10/23 --- Grades for 1st quarter went in on Wednesday - you should get a paper copy sometime soon (probably Friday) - This week we have continued reading short stories in class from our literature book - we have been doing short assignments from the book, in class and taking small quizzes at the end of each story. Next week we will spend most of our time for English looking at Edgar Allen Poe, which will culminate with "Poe Fest" on Thursday and Friday --- in Wa. St. History - we are reading ch. 3 in the book and the students with odd class numbers are doing the odd questions at the end of the chapter and vice versa for the evens - these are due tomorrow. We will continue with our study of Native Americans in the PNW for the next couple of weeks and will revisit this topic in Civics as well - including a look at a new video called "Shadow of the Salmon" and a fun Chinook Jargon activity. I'm looking forward to seeing folks at conferences - kw
