We are smack dab in the middle of testing, but here are some important things for you to know and remember:
Projects: Students will work on World War 2 museum exhibits this week and next. We will present our exhibits to parents on May 18th--I believe in the afternoon, but will check on that!
7th Grade Reading: We are loving our WW2 book clubs! Students are doing a great job on responses, and are coming to their groups prepared and ready for discussion!
8th Grade Reading: Students are reading Night, by Elie Weisel. This book is prompting a lot of discussion, and the serious nature of this book is really making students think about life and human nature.
Writing: Students have been practicing writing tasks for Smarter Balanced, IXL skills, and writing stamina to prepare for our SBAC this week!
