Many apologies for this being posted so late. We had a family emergency this afternoon that kept us tied up until just now. I didn't worry so much because there is no additional homework that was assigned today.

Language Arts:

• Students began presenting R&Es
• Read 20 minutes
• Finish presenting R&E #2 tomorrow (be ready)
• R&E #3 due 12/18/07

Social Studies:

• Lesson 7 Assessments 1&2 (assigned by Mr. Scarcello last week) checked in. Additional information given to supplement student answers on Assessment #2 (triangle of trade).
• Mystery Artifacts 2&3 checked in. Whole class discussion of Mystery Artifacts 2&3 (currency printed by colonies in response to scarcity of paper currency caused by unfair balance of trade with England).
• Finishing up Lesson 7. No further assignments for today.
• Tomorrow we will go over Lesson Assessment #1 and give additional information to supplement student answers. These are materials that will be useful to study for a test (hint, hint), so keep them in a safe place!

Have a wonderful evening with your families!

Mrs. Jacobs
