Today in 6A & 6B

ENGLISH: We started our iWords today for Unit 8, drumming up associations to go along with our definitions.

LITERATURE: In the latest installment of "The Wednesday Wars," Holling Hoodhood is proving to be a determined and accomplished cross-country runner. After making the varsity team, he competes in a regional competition and wins! His father is showing more of his own true colors as indifferent toward the hopes, dreams and wishes of his children. Mrs. Baker takes even stronger interest in Holling's business as she trains him for cross-country.

RELIGION: We opened our Bibles to examine the descriptions of the birth of Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Under examination, we see that both evangelists focus on different details that they deem important to this story. We keep in mind the context of who they were as writers and who they may have been writing for.

SOCIAL STUDIES: On Friday, students were given a list of study materials for Tuesday's test. With that test being tomorrow, our class today was designed to serve a s a study/Q&A session. Students could choose to study alone, ask questions regarding the content of the chapter, or quiz a partner on the chapter material.
