PE
Please have your inside shoes, pe uniform shirt, and athletic shorts ready to go. Also, be sure to review grading for Mr. Fischer's pe class which is available on my webpage links.
Reading
When we return from break, we will spend some time watching a documentary that follows real life Lost Boys as they were selected to leave their refugee camp in Kenya to move to the US and live in Pittsburgh, PA. This will give us a better understanding of what that transition looks like for someone moving across the world and having to adapt to a completely new way of life. We can use this to compare with what we have read about Salva in A Long Walk to Water. Starting Wednesday, we will begin our unit final project. There will be in-class work time, and the project will be due Monday January 13th.
Religion
This week we are looking at the Bible stories of the death of John the Baptist and the woman in Simon's house. Memory is Romans 13:9-10 (ESV wording) and is due Wednesday. Sermon note #3 is due January 20.
