3. Review the science study guide we completed in class today. We will have a test on Thursday, Dec. 3.

Thanks and have a wonderful week.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Mrs. Koue

I sent home information about our December poetry activity, "Poetry Cafe," today. I'd like to set up our classroom to look like a '50s beatnik hangout if possible for the event. I may need some help with this and will keep you updated with my thoughts after the Thanksgiving break. In the meantime, I'd like my students to be reading poems by different poets and choose one they particularly enjoy. I will give them a list of possible poets and some sample poems before the end of this week.
I will be assigning some homework over the break. Please look for these assignments on Thursday's blog.

Thanks!

The entire report, including the oral presentation, is due on Wednesday, Dec. 16.

Thanks,
