2.  A schedule for the presentation dates of the Literature Circle reading groups and the News Journal oral presentations was created and handed out today.  It would be a good idea to check your child's presentation date for the News Journal since they are all on different days.  we practiced two News Journals in class ("The Birdman" and the "Teens Find Money at McDonald's" articles) as an introduction for what is expected.
3.  Unit three Geometry test on Friday December 8, 2017.  This test will be on all lessons.  Students were given a study sheet yesterday to complement the notes taken in class.  I checked to see if the kids still had them today and reminded the class about study materials as we exited the room at the end of the day.  Students should ensure they have their ruler, protractor, and compass for the test tomorrow.
