Tuesday, October 30th

We had a great discussion today about friendship.  It was very lively, and we heard about some outstanding friendships.  Also, we had an interesting discussion related to the Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes anticipation guide.

  1. Journal topic:  Write about a friendship, past or present, that was important to you.  Why was it important?  Why were you friends with that person?
  2. We reviewed Vocab #12.
  3. We introduced author Chris Crutcher.
  4. Students completed the Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes anticipation guide.  We'll finish the discussion on Wednesday.
  5. We distributed the study guide for Chapters 4-5.  Please read those chapters by Friday 11/2.

Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to review Chapters 1-3 and take Quiz #1.  We'll do that on Wednesday too. 

Stay warm!
