Projects: Students continue to build a 3D model of a structure that uses simple machines to complete a simple task. They will have the rest of the week to work on their structures during projects. This is a change from our original schedule. We will give the students 2 extra days so they can refine their products!
8th Grade Reading: Today we watched Flocabulary and discussed the stories from the week. Students have a Flocabulary page due in class tomorrow. They must write the summaries of the stories by using main idea, details and complete sentences.
Tomorrow we will start To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. We will begin by researching Harper Lee and gaining an understanding of her as an author and how her own experiences may have led to her writing this novel.
7th Grade Reading: Today we watched Flocabulary and discussed the stories from the week. Students have a Flocabulary page due in class tomorrow, Tuesday, January 26. They must write the summaries of the stories by using main idea, details and complete sentences.
Throughout the week we will discuss the characters who are introduced in The Outsiders and add character traits to a shared document we started today.
Poetry annotations due Wednesday, January 27 for 7th grade for the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay."
Writing: Students are finishing up their expressive/reflective writing on their favorite mistake. This group has some serious talent with narrative writing! We will finish these then go back to more informative/expository writing. We continue to work on IXL lessons and Root of the Week.
We will have an auction next Thursday, February 4. Please send in items for the auction if you are able. Thank you!
