Today in Humanities, students took their vocab quiz over the second set of vocab words from I Promised I Would Tell. Then, they received information about the Atlanta to Honduras pen pal exchange project. Students are to write a letter to their Honduran pen pal, include a recent photo of themselves and turn this letter package in to Miss Devine by Thursday. Students then journaled, reflecting on Sonia's role as one who challenged authority, spoke out for injustice and/or stood up for change in history. We will discuss these journal entries as a bridge to the study of other notable people in European history on Wednesday.
Miss Cassaro then led the students through prep work for the museum visit tomorrow. Students learned how to analyze a photo as a historic artifact and discussed the information that can be collected by doing so.
Tomorrow, students will head to the Bremen Jewish Heritage Museum. If students have not turned in permission forms, tomorrow is the last day to do so, or they will not be allowed to participate. Thanks to all the parents who have volunteered to chaperone. See you tomorrow!
Homework- Work on pen pal letter, due Thursday. Remember that you must show Miss D the letter to get credit before sealing the envelope.
