Conferences are this Friday! Please take a moment and sign up for a time slot through the sign up genius link I sent out. If Friday doesn't work with you, I am happy to schedule another time.
The book fair is here! Students previewed it today and can bring money throughout the week to make purchases.
Today and this week's schedule:
Projects: We used Brainpop to introduce ourselves to the causes of the American Revolution. Students will learn A LOT over the next 2 weeks so they can have a wealth of knowledge for our big project, which begins on November 9.
8th Grade Reading: Week in Rap! Students read about and discussed current events. I have many talented debators and possibly a few future politicians in this class. I always look forward to it.
7th Grade Reading: Week in Rap! The 7th graders look forward to this and are really starting to develop higher level thinking. They are asking great questions and taking risks with their arguments. I love it!!!
Writing: Students were given some time to free write today. I love this part of writing, and it was put on hold last week. I love watching kids just write about whatever enters their minds. We also did a TRIBES activity during writing....Two truths and a lie. Ask the kids about it. They had GREAT truths and lies. It was fun.
**Class auction on Thursday!
