FRIDAY 10/10 CLASS OVERVIEW

Because of the St. Mary's field trip for many 8th graders, we changed the A,B, C rotation today. 8th met first hour in CS, then 7th will have CS after snack. For both groups we shared out reflective journals on Declaration of Independence prompts and discussed them.
The second part of class was spent in team activities around a Constitution Convention for brainstorming ways to set up a just, balanced system for a national government from the ground up in the way the "founding fathers" had to think. We will share these next week when everyone is back in class.
We will feature our visiting teacher from Switzerland and her two 8th grade sons next Tuesday in CS and highlights about identity of both presidential candidates on Friday with MaryBeth.
Finally, enjoy your three day weekend and return rested.
