9/16

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the treats and even more importantly, thanks for being so positive and radical!

HW due Monday:

1. Layers of the Earth worksheet
...Using your knowledge and the Layers of the Earth handouts and notes complete both sides of the Layers of the Earth worksheet that we spend this morning working on. If you used your class time well this morning, this should be mostly done

2. Perspective Writing
...You all have to listen to teachers all day. We share our perspective with you constantly. Sometimes teachers (like myself) forget to check in about your perspectives. Today at lunch you heard my perspective on our struggles this week with transitions, planners, expectations, etc... Perhaps I was missing something, so now its your turn. Write 1 paragraph about life from the perspective of a SES middle schooler. It can be about something in class, a subject, whatever!

3. Lew Frederick
...Lew Frederick is coming to Morning Meeting on Monday to talk to you all. This is an awesome opportunity for us. Who is he?!?!?! List three facts about him. Here is a link to get yourself started
