Guided Reading:  We will continue our focus on different kinds of sentences next week and have the complex sentence assessment.

Advanced Math:  Test today, no homework this weekend :)

Debate:  We worked on preparing notecards for our practice debate on Monday.  There will be very little time on Monday to finalize the notecards before the practice debate, but after the debate, you will have some time to discuss as a team the "holes" in your plan and start to fill some of them.  Tuesday will be the final day of preparation before the actual live debate on Wednesday.  (Though some of you are debating on Thursday, ALL of you must be prepared by Wednesday.  There will be ZERO MINUTES allotted to working on your debate on Wednesday.)

NHD:  This was the last day for NHD for this particular Social Studies group.  We finalized topics and students should continue to gather resources over the next week.  After next week, the entire CC Pod will be focusing on NHD during the 11:30-12:00 Social Studies time.

Have a great weekend!  Remember that our school is having a blanket drive for those who are in challenging circumstances.  The blanket drive begins on Monday, so please bring in any blankets that your parents have given you permission to donate.
