Language Arts:
   We discussed and copied Vocabulary for Chapter 6.  We shared the words we found for our roots: cede and script/scrib.  We corrected our Simple Solutions Test #6 and reviewed the grammatical principles covered.  Our Literature Teams found evidence to describe Socs, Greasers, Ponyboy, Johnny and found pictures and a description of the difference between Tuff and Tough.
  We discussed the plot of Chapter 5 and began chapter 6.
  Students recited the Gettysburg Address

Homework:
Read Chapter 6; story box & packet
