Today we had the wonderful experience of a field trip to PHS for a dramatic presentation on Japanese American internment (imprisonment).  We will cover this piece of history later in the year so it was an excellent pre-teaching experience for the kids.

In English...everyone should be through section 3 of their literature circle book and packet by Wednesday and finished with their book and packet by Friday. There is class time for reading, but most kids need to read at home in order to finish.

In Civics.... Chapter 5 sections 1 and 2 should be finished....section 3 is due Wednesday
And a small quiz will follow on Thursday. Encourage the use of flash cards!

Thank-you notes are also being done this week. For my home room...a sock for the sock drive and a ticket for the sock hop are available in exchange for an extra thank you letter :)

Trotting and hopping on Friday should be good fun!  My entire home room,  in the spirit of supporting our school community,  will all be participating :)

Choice books for 2nd quarter that were checked out from the library are due December 1st. Please encourage students to finish this up over break!
