The Ghosts of Christmas Past want to warn Miss Sidebottom and Mrs. Bowlds about trying to wear shirts instead of sweaters....chains will be shackled to wrists and ankles if your efforts do not improve in the Christmas Sweater Extravaganza!
C'mon, girls....you can do better!
The Ghost of Christmas Present is disappinted by the lack of creativity found on the first day...
I see REDEMPTION on the horizon....can they turn it around in time?.....That remains to be seen........

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING!
IN FIRST PERIOD, WE ARE READING "MARTIAN CHRONICLES" BY RAY BRADBURY AND DISCUSSING SETTINGS WITH EMPHASIS ON COMPREHENSION AND VOCABULARY!
Second Period: We read the story,"Ta-Na-E-Ka" dealing with rites of passage and how a young girl creatively uses to her wits to survive five days in the wilderness.
Third Period: The focus is Making Predictions! "The Bracelet" is a story about Japanese interrment during World War II. We also address the United States' response when the country apologized in 1989 after the Japanese Americans were imprisoned in 1942 for a period of several months to years.
Fifth Period: Japanese Folktales are read with emphasis on details. The two stories are " The Spider Weaver" and "The Grateful Statues". We are character diagramming and focusing on comprehension:)
Sixth and Eighth Periods: We are reading "Ta-Na-E-Ka". These stories are dealing with girls and boys being treated equally. The Kaw Indians (subtribe of the Sioux) were the first Indians that allowed women and men to be treated as equals.
