Due to extended advisory at the end of the day, we had a shorter class period. Ms. Cassaro taught a special Halloween creative writing lesson.
Ms. Cassaro modeled writing a scary story using a picture for inspiration. Then, students broke off into groups and used different scary pictures to inspire their own scary stories.
Stories were judged by Miss Devine and Ms. Cassaro and winners read their stories at the Advisory Halloween Party.
Lastly, Ms. Cassaro assigned an ELECTION DAY ASSIGNMENT, due next Thursday. Each student was assigned two states to watch and research on election day. For each state, students need to use their mapping skills to describe the location of the state and write down the number of electoral votes that each state has. On election day, students need to figure out who won the vote in each state- democrats or republicans? Each student will present this information in class on Thursday.
NO HOMEWORK this weekend. Adios! Ciao!
