Welcome back after our 3-day weekend!
(For a vacation update: 8 days until a PLC day, and 18 days until our next 4-day week. Yay!)
-Hunger is the CSAP Packet for week 3, and Words to Live By is the one for next week (week 4).
The Ned Kelly Presentation is a competition. The group that wins will receive homemade cookie bars and their choice of hot chocolate or milk. The question for this project is: What do Ned Kelly, Marcus (from Little Brother) and the Chicago Seven have in common? We will present our findings on Thursday.
Requirements for Ned Kelly Presentation:

(We got into our groups of 4-5 today- we chose our group members) - and we began our brainstorming for the presentation. TA-DA!)
