Language Arts:

Today we worked on Journal Entry #4;  we used a list of quotes from "Lincoln: A Photobiography" and drew inferences.  We stapled this sheet in our journal and took notes on several characteristics of leaders.

We reported on the authors that we researched and handed in our Author's Study.

We discussed, and took notes in our Red Notebook about one of the First American Authors:  Washington Irving.  (Harvard began a Readers' Theatre of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow").

Homework:
SS #21
Essays on "The Influence of Clothing" are due Friday.  Staple your final to the peer editing sheet and draft.
If you did not have your essay editing, you can have someone at home read it & edit it.

Continue reading your SciFi novel choice Section 10 and do your short summary and assign a title.


HALLOWEEN:
Bring in one of your supplies -- kleenex, wipes, paper towel, reams of paper!
Dress down for 8th grade -- must be appropriate.
Not a healthy-eating day -- you can bring candy and treats if you'd like.
