Hi students! 
Congratulations on completing 1st Quarter.
Enjoy your Veteran's Day off, and give thanks to a veteran if you know one, or at least think about how much they have given to protect us.

7th Graders: Those of you who came in during lunches over the last weeks for the extra credit on the Anatomy lesson ("What's Going On Inside?") really helped your grades! 
Homework due Monday: Fill out the first two columns for the K -W - L chart about the Cardiovascular system!

6th Graders:  Homework due Monday: For our project, you will choose an article FROM THE PACKET and write an outline or draft editorial about it. 
Hint:
1. Read the article,
2. Figure out what the Main Idea is (what events described in the article are most important?)
3. Choose a position either for or against those events. 
4. Go through the article again and circle, highlight, or underline all supporting details (especially facts) that support your position. 
5. Type out the Main Idea and Supporting Details to write your outline or draft editorial. An editorial is an article in which you give your opinion.
6. If you don't use a computer for your outline or draft editorial, try this.  Write one idea or detail on a cut-out paper square (or sticky note, Post-It, or index card). Then put the ideas/details in the order based on which facts or details support which part of your opinion.

ALSO, you should already have shown me your completed Table of Household Hazardous Materials.  If you have not, please work with a grown-up in your home and find at least 5 products, then fill out your table.
