Here we are in the middle - the middle week of our 3 between breaks - To Kill a Mockingbird is humming (no pun intended) along :) We are doing a mix of in-class reading/listening and at home reading. We have answered the questions in the packet for ch. 2 - 4 (5 - 7 are due tomorrow) and we will continue along these lines up until Winter break. We took a small quiz yesterday on ch. 6 WSH covering Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce - and we may look at chapter 7 next week as well. Block 1 finished up our look at Lewis and Clark and we will be working with some related short stories in the literature book and will move forward with another WSH ch. as well. In addition this week - we are working on the National Geographic Geography Bee - all students participate in 7 rounds in class and our top performing students will advance to another all school round at a later date. Block one finished all 7 rounds today, and blocks 2 and 3 will finish up tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your week --- look for that TKM book to be read at home!!!
