I hope everyone had a restful, wonderful spring break. Now we are in the home stretch!!
SBAC Assessments will be April 21, 23, 28, and 30 for all 7th grade students. Please make sure your student gets a good night's sleep, is on time to school, has had a nice healthy breakfast and is ready to do their best. Please consider signing up to send in a snack on the signupgenius email you should have received.
We have a lot going on from now until the end of the year:
Projects: We launched the World War 2 unit. Students got into groups and chose topics for final produects. They will creating museum exhibits around World War 2 concepts (people, events, places, etc.). We are all enjoying learning during this unit.
8th Grade Reading: Please ask your 8th grader what World War 2 related book they are reading. Students were put into book clubs and are participating in discussions every day. They will finish the book by completing a final task.
7th Grade Reading: 7th graders are also in World War 2 book clubs. Each student chose a book and is reading it with several others. Students are responsible for taking notes and coming prepared to discussions every day. They will complete a final task when they finish the books.
Writing: Students are keeping a journal and writing daily. They are writing from the perspective of someone who may have lived during World War 2. They make daily entries and include real facts and details from that time period. We are also doing a lot of free writing with Storybird and poetry. Sentence Diagramming sees its way into writing several times a week as well. :)
