Advanced LA & LA periods 5 & 7
As we wrap up the week before Spring Break, seventh graders will be going over how to read text and complete an outline. We will discuss how to use sub-topics correctly and this will help prepare students for the "Career Unit" upon returning from Spring Break. More details to come after break about the "Career Unit."
Advanced Reading
All week students will be using class time and homework time to complete their final projects for
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". I am looking forward to interesting and creative projects. Each day in grade book a "grade" of 'X' or '0' will be entered. This is the parents and students way to see how well they used their class time to work on the project. Students are not receiving any points it is just a "check" grade. Feel free to contact me with any questions and/or concerns about the project.
Reading - periods 6 & 8
We will continue reading Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie this week. This is a great book which explores adolescences through an 8th grader's eyes. Steven has just learned his brother, Jeffrey, has leukemia and we will see how the family reacts to this horrible news. This book offers humor and real life perspective as well and the students are asking daily, "Are we reading more today?" I am glad they are enjoying the book as much as I do!
