Student-led conferences are this Friday. Please stop by with your child at any time between 8 am and 4 pm.
Projects: We started studying World War 2 today. Students will frontload vocabulary terms and learn the causes of WW2 this week.
7th Grade Reading: This week we will review figurative language terms with Flocabulary and IXL, read our independent reading books, write lengthy reading responses, annotate poetry, and read and summarize nonfiction text with "The Week in Rap."
8th Grade Reading: Students watched To Kill a Mockingbird today, and will spend the next 5-6 reading blocks preparing their responses for our Paideia Seminar.
Writing: This week students will learn to evaluate and judge by reading reviews of some of their favorite movies, books, games, etc. Using the book Write Like This as a mentor text, we will rate products, then write formal reviews for them.
