Look What is Decking Our Halls!

The slides above show the Wanted posters that have been submitted and have everyone interested in The Westing Game!  Our cafe is on Thursday, and then we will finish reading the rest of the story.  The class can hardly wait to solve the mystery!

In Social Studies, each student was assigned a country.  The students were given information about their assigned country and asked to create a Venn diagram of information comparing and contrasting Christmas traditions observed in that country compared to Christmas traditions observed in the U.S.  Many had filled their Venn and were drafting a brief essay on the topic.  The information will be presented orally on Thursday afternoon.  We will enjoy learning about Christmas celebrations around the world. 

Tomorrow is our field trip to Pittsburgh!  Please be on time, and don't forget your bag lunch.
