Happy Friday!  Today the students who were not attending the Channel 3 field trip had the opportunity to get a head start on their weekend homework.  Everyone is expected to be through chapter 26 by Tuesday.  These chapters are quite short, so it really isn't as much as it seems.  We will be finishing up the novel next week and culminate with an in-class writing assignment and the movie.

For Washington State History -- Maps are underway - we will resume work on this project on Wednesday (should complete them on Thursday) - there is a large test covering the map on Friday.

Night of the Notables --- Students have been asked to begin independent research.  They should have the start of a list of possible notables.  They will receive their packet on Tuesday with more details, including information on the districts BIG 6 research method.  We are going to the library/computer lab for more research on Tuesday.  Notable choices will be declared on Monday 2/25 (possibly sooner if I feel students are ready). 

Hope you enjoy a fabulous President's Day weekend ---- Mrs. Walker
