What a week!  The kids worked extremely hard at completing their assignments for our last assessment in our Systems unit.  Most of the comics turned out well and the kids should be proud of their efforts.  Next week we will look at the grading rubric to assess for content, process, and presentation.  We will also share our comics with our Reading Buddies on Tuesday.  I am really looking forward to our next unit on human rights.  This is a very real and at times intense subject.  We will be discussing child rights, political right, religious rights and gender rights.  Please facilitate conversations at home about this because I am sure the students will have plenty of questions.
