Secret
Santa gifts are due at school next Tuesday. If your student is unable to
participate in the gift exchange (keep it under $10 and homemade gifts
encouraged), please let me know.
If
there are any doubts that your student will be able to attend the Winter Program
performance, please let me know as soon as possible.
Upcoming Dates
§ December 9th, 10th, and
18th are all minimum days.
§ December 10th, we
perform our Winter Program at 6:00 pm.
§ Winter Break begins
December 19th and extends through January 3rd.
New
8th
graders will be practicing flash cards to prepare for their Constitution Test
next week.
6th
and 7th graders will continue work on narrative writing and grammar.
Updates and Info
Students
watched, took notes, and discussed the History Channel's The Story of Us All looking at the fall of Rome and subsequent rise
of Arab and Viking cultures. We've also
been enjoying The Phantom Tollbooth
in ELA, practicing our play, and exploring first and third person narrative
styles.
Students were offered two
different service learning opportunities last week. This is a good time of year
to reflect with your student how they will meet their requirements for service
learning hours as we are now halfway through the year. Winter break is a great
time to get some hours in!
