Hello Parents!  Here's what's new in middle school... The 6th grade is taking their test now for their unit over myths and legends. It was a pretty hands on, creative unit but I think it was a lot of fun and I hope they had fun too. Also in this unit they had their speeches. I was pretty excited to see how those turned out, and they all did a great job! It was neat to see them present. Here are a few pictures of them presenting. Next we will do a little mini unit on autobiographies and biographies then they will write their own personal narratives before diving into their novel unit The Outsiders.  On the left we have Jacob demonstrating on to make his "perfect" bologna and cheese sandwich. On the right we have Halle explaining how to make protein balls, which were really good! Here is Mallory explaining how to make an origami fox. On the right we see Haley showing us how to make some more origami. They turned out very cute! The 8th

6th Grade Parents:  These kiddos have a "how-to" speech due on Thursday. They are to find something they are an "expert" at and demonstrate how to make/do it to the class.. They have had all class period today to work on them. Please practice with your child so they are prepared to present on Thursday. I gave them an outline, example, and rubric, so they should know everything they need to give a successful speech. I will encourage they bring these materials home with them so you get a better idea of what they are to do. Thanks!

Sorry to do this to you parents... but the high school counselors are here now talking to the 8th grade about classes for next year. Trust me, this saddens me as much as it saddens you.
