Tomorrow students may bring Valentines to pass out to the class. We will do this around 2:30-2:45 as the kids have art at 3:15.
Projects: Students are working on their Great Depression websites. Also, we are learning about causes, daily life, government role, Dust Bowl, and economics during the Great Depression.
7th Grade Reading: We are having great discussions during our Monday Flocabulary lessons! Students are really making intelligent connections to current events and have strong opinions on topics! We will continue reading The Outsiders week and will likely finish it. When we do finish, students will begin preparing for our Paideia Seminar on the novel, which will be our final exam.
8th Grade Reading: We will continue to read To Kill a Mockingbird and use Close Reading strategies to look deeply at certain parts. We are enjoying learning more about the characters and making predictions about Boo Radley and Tom Robinson.
Writing: This week we will work together on an informative/explanatory writing piece. We did this a couple of weeks ago with narratives, and we will work on an unassisted piece after we write one together. These prompts are coming off of the state website and are good examples of what the students may be facing during testing this spring.
Homework:
7th Grade--IXL AA.1, read for 20 minutes
8th Grade--Finish Flocabulary "Week in Rap" links from today; read for 20 minutes and be on chapter 12 of To Kill a Mockingbird on Tuesday.
