Projects: Students are working on the presentation aspect of the simple machines project. We are hoping to finish these tomorrow or Wednesday and be ready to present on Thursday.
8th Grade Reading: Flocabulary's "Week in Rap!" Students listened to and discussed the current events from the past week. We will read chapters 5 and 6 tomorrow in To Kill a Mockingbird and work on finding evidence of theme in the novel. Wednesday we will look at a new poem and annotations will be due next Wednesday for it.
7th Grade Reading; Flocabulary's "Week in Rap!" Students listened to and discussed the current events from the past week. We will read chapters 9 and 10 in The Outsiders and discuss issues related to the novel. On Wednesday we will read a poem called "The Wreck of the Hesperus." It's a long ballad/narrative. Students will act it out in groups and annotate it for two weeks (it's a long one, so it will take a while).
Writing: Students are working on comparison/contrast essays on Greasers and Socs. They had last Thursday to start notes and the essay will be due tomorrow at the end of the writing block. We are working on writing quickly and efficiently in order to succeed at the SBAC!
Homework:
8th Flocabulary due Thursday and poetry due next Wednesday
7th Flocabulary due Thursday and poetry due 2/24
This Friday is our Valentine's dance for middle school. I hope to see EVERY student there!:)
