SCHUITEMAN

ENGLISH -
Today we shared good news from the weekend, read in our read aloud, and then we discussed plagiarism.  We defined it, talked about why we don't want to do it in our writing, and then started to discuss a technique to avoid it -- putting writing into our own words!  We started practicing some note taking skills.  No Homework!

Social Studies -
We wrapped up Friday's conversations about "If the World were a Village of 100...." with a video clip, and then we discussed MLK Jr. Day.  Finally, we completed a journal based off of one of his famous quotes.  No Homework!!

**SCHUITEMAN HOMEROOM:  Don't forget we start swimming TOMORROW (TUESDAY)!!!  You will need a suit, towel, googles, plastic bag for wet items, and a hair tie for long hair!!  Don't forget!!
