This week in Core: end of the Trimester, Turkey Day, Civil War

We've made it to the end of our first trimester!

Here is a list of what's happening in class this week:

Monday: Last day to turn in late work/make-up work/extra credit for Core. We'll be in the library typing our how-to paragraphs which are due on Tuesday. In Social Studies we'll be doing a mini-incentive period with the other 6th grade Core classes.

Tuesday: locker clean out. We're back in the library to finish our paragraphs. In Social Studies students are working to finish their Create a Culture rough drafts (due Wednesday).

Wednesday: Beaver/Duck Day! How to Packets will be collected, and Create a Culture rough drafts are due at the end of the period.

Notes about the end of the trimester:
1. Reading logs will be changing for Trimester 2, which means that students will NOT receive a new one on Wednesday, Nov 26th. Students are encouraged to read over the Thanksgiving break but a log will not be collected.

2. Remember that there is no school on Monday, December 1, 2008. This is our grading day!

Finally,

Have a safe, and wonderful Thanksgiving! Remember to root for the Beavs on November 29th. Watch the game on Versus at 4pm and look for me and my family in the stands!

GO BEAVS!
