We had a fun in-class spelling bee, congratulations to Cassidy for winning! Jorie will represent our class in Tuesday's school spelling bee, Cassidy was too shy. Today we also edited each other's memoirs using editing symbols. Europe maps should be handed in today.

I read the Secret of the Dance today as part of our discussion around the Potlatch ban. We also did a frustrating exercise with the Indian Act, you need to be a lawyer to understand that document! Chapter 6 notes should be completed by now and handed in.
