I can't believe the last week of school is upon us. Here are a few reminders for the week:

Monday:  1:30-3:30 WWII Museum Exhibit--Please come and visit our exhibits. They are phenomenal!  All projects are set up in the middle school classrooms, with the exception of Mr. Lewis's room.

Tuesday: Regular Day, but the kids and I will brainstorm and come up with something fun. We will definitely have an auction and we need last minute items!

Wednesday:  8th grade promotion 10:00--All students attend

Thursday: Field Day 8:00-2:00; last day of school

I am going to miss this bunch of 7th and 8th graders so much. We have had an extraordinary year together....lots of laughter and great moments. This is such a wonderful group of kids and I have enjoyed every day with them. I hope you all have a relaxing, terrific summer!

Monday, May 11

Our students will be displaying their WW2 museum exhibit to parents next Monday, May 18, from 1-3.  Please stop by and admire their work. They are working so hard on these!

Projects:
Students are busily completing their museum exhibits. A gentle reminder to them to make sure everything is finished up by this Thursday, including bringing any artifacts or supplies from home. Students are working on these at school, but many have said they have things at home to bring in.

8th Grade Reading:
I only have 2 more days with my 8th graders for reading. I am so sad and will miss them dearly next year. We are going to wrap up the year with a little bit of poetry.:)

7th Grade Reading:
Second Wordl War 2 tasks are due this Thursday. This is all students need to focus on as far as homework.

Writing:
We will alternate between working on writing (sentence diagramming, free write, WW2 journaling) and projects during our writing time this week.

Please don't forget that we need volunteers for field day on Thursday, May 21. We need as much help as possible to make this awesome for the kids.

The year is slipping away quickly!  I have SO ENJOYED this class of 7th graders. I will miss them, but know we will have a great year in 8th grade too!

In projects, students are working diligently on their WW2 museum exhibit projects. The content for these is due NEXT THURSDAY, May 14.  We will grade the oral presentation and interactive piece on Monday, May 18.

7th and 8th grade reading:  both classes are busy reading WW2 texts and responding to them. 8th grade will the the reading EOC with me on Wednesday, May 6th.

Writing:  We are still working on parts of speech and sentence diagramming. Also, students will complete a few more writing prompts and finish WW2 journaling.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful kids with me this year!
