A spooky Friday.  Wildcats filled out their invertebrate review (cheat sheet) on purple paper.  The review sheets will aid students on their animals tasks down the road.  Wildcats had a computer lab hour to work on their assignments.  Most students were working on finding information for their UN presentations that start next week.  The rest of the day was devoted to enjoying Halloween and the Halloween dance.  Homework- make a draft copy of your free verse poem for Monday.  Remember to start your poem within, use I, break for pauses, and that your last line is the most significant.  Happy Halloween!

Wildcats had English, Science, and French today.  Homework- review the five invertebrates we have covered for Science.  English:  Wildcats need a draft free verse poem for Monday.  Ideas for their poems should naturally derive from their 'hear map' exercise.
