January 29, 2014

This week in class we created Ninja Stars using oragami.  The students loved this!  We then worked on categorizing Japanese society and culture.  For the next few weeks, we will be reading novels in class.

Periods 2,3,4,7 will read The Samurais Tale
Period 6 will read The Sign of the Crysanthenum

Both novels will contain various assignments throughout reading the book.  Students should be taking notes in class to help with projects.  Ask to see them!

Homework this week:  RSG workbook pages 67-72

Parent Conferences next week!  Ms. Kener and Ms. Cloud will NOT be available on Thursday night.  We will be here on Friday, 12-3pm.
