Important
It’s
a brand new year! Welcome back! In my excitement, I'm somewhat tardy posting this to the blog, though it went home with students.
Progress
reports will be going home at the end of next week.
This
trimester’s reading grade is heavily influenced by at home reading minutes and
parent/caregiver signatures for those minutes, so keep up the good work of
checking those Student Planners.
Upcoming Dates
§ January 13 is a minimum
day and awards assembly.
§ January 18, we are off
for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
New
In
ELA, we will be embarking on a research project that will culminate in an
evidence based essay on a rule to live by that students will choose.
In
social studies we will be fine tuning our note taking skills while learning
about the civilizations of China and
Japan.
In
science, we will be discovering the processes that create sedimentary rock.
Updates and Info
The
class enjoyed a festive party exchanging compliments and Secret Santa gifts! 6th
and 7th graders completed a short fictional narrative and finished The Phantom Tollbooth. We also
celebrated all the 8th graders passing the Constitution Test!
Third trimester begins
February 26th. I’d like to have elective classes lined up earlier rather than
later, so please consider reaching out to me if you or someone you know is
willing to teach!
