This week classes are beginning their first unit in reading. Regular classes will focus on short stories and poems that have the common theme, "Strange Goings-On." The advance class is beginning their own unit about detective/mystery stories.
Classes are completing their first essay of the school year - three goals they want to accomplish by May. Each student selected a personal, academic and extracurricular goal they want to meet.
I'm enjoying getting to know all of my students (most for a second time - since I had many in 6th grade), but it is amazing to see how much they have changed and GROWN!
Again, keep communication going parents and students - feel free to e-mail or call anytime.
