Friday

CE 8: We missed CE for mass this morning.

ELA 7: The students read chapter 10 "The Great Stone House" independently then answered questions.  Students will not be allowed to enter class on Tuesday until they have shown me their entrance slip.

1. After Awasin makes the fire and the boys eat “dinner” Farley Mowat describes Jamie as being “himself again.” What does Farley Mowat mean by this statement?

2. What was the Great Stone House? Describe the different reaction the two boys had when they found out what it was.

Entrance Slip:

Research how to create fire without the help of matches. 

CE 7: After brainstorming different community types, the students met in groups to answer questions.  A large group discussion followed.  We wrote some notes to help us remember what healthy communities look like.

Communities

·      All communities have stories

·      Individuals truly belong to the extent that they know the community and consider its story their own

·      True communities are active.  Members take actions because they are members

·      Individuals feel part of a community to the extent that they participate in the community’s activity

·      All communities place expectations on their members

·      All communities offer some benefits to their members

·      A healthy community enables its members to grow in wholeness

PAA 8: We sewed in the lab.  The sweaters are really starting to come together...literally.

ELA 8: After combining their two stanzas from yesterday to create group poems, the girls had time to finish the good copy of their fable.  The poems and fables are due Wednesday.
