Summary:  Due TOMORROW: Students have received descriptive feedback from their peers from the other writing group. Consider the feedback offered as your group collaboratively co-constructs your THIRD draft of the summary paragraph within the wiki.  Students must use in-class and at-home time effectively to make meaningful contributions to the group writing.  Click on the link below for your group summary task:

Social Studies: PAST DUE: Conduct a family interview by talking with parents and grandparents (or older relative).  If your grandparents live elsewhere try calling or emailling them to help with this assignment.

Poetry: PAST DUE: Using the descriptive feedback offered by a peer, type your third draft of the poem about a journey an animal embarks upon as they try to survive.  Several poems were shared during community circle that included elements of sound, figures of speech and voice. 

We Create Change:
Please bring in all bags TOMORROW. Start collecting your pennies to support others around the world.

Scientist in Schools & Spoken Word: funds for these in-class workshops are past due.  Please submit them by Wednesday December 12th.
