Hi all!
A reminder that there is a Spirit Day on Friday. Have your kids bring that dollar to wear their sweat pants.
I will be sending home permission slips for all of the 8th grade parents to sign for their child to attend the Southwestern Community College Career Day on Tuesday the 22nd. We will leave school around 8:45 and return before 2.
Also don't forget to bring your baked good for Spaghetti Supper this Saturday! You can bring an item for the carnival's cake walk OR for the dinner itself. The Spaghetti Supper starts at 5. I think we will have the students who volunteer for the carnival to be there at 3:30 to set up.
8th grade is finishing up their Sugar Skulls for the Day of the Dead, November 1st. I will post a picture when those are all done. Today they started reading an excerpt of The Diary of Anne Frank, the play edition. After that we will start on the procedures of having a debate. However, next week will take a little break for Halloween to do some fun activities for that! The 8th grade usually reads "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allen Poe, my favorite!
7th grade just read a story called "The War of the Wall" and will be doing a little activity with murals today. They will also take a pause from their unit next week to do Halloween activities. I haven't decided what story they will read. I believe in the past the 7th grade has read "The Monkey's Paw", but we will see!
6th grade is currently taking their unit 2 test and they will be off into unit 3 starting on Friday. They too will take a chunk out to do Halloween activities. They read "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving. I love that story!
I think we will start all of these stories next Wednesday. The actual day of Halloween is pretty packed with different activities the Civics Club hosts. The middle school will again have a pumpkin painting contest. I am hoping the Civics Club will send home notes tomorrow asking whether students want to provide their own pumpkin for painting, so be on the look out for that.
I think that's all for now. Hopefully see you Saturday night!
