Hello Parents,
Just a few things and an update.
This Friday is another Spirit Day.
The 8th grade auction basket theme will be "home for the holidays". We are hoping to fill an old trunk or suitcase with anything and everything Christmas. Examples would be: CDs, candles, Christmas decorations, ornaments, dishes, books, movies, snowmen, Santas, etc... The best time to get these things would be right after Christmas when everything is on sale! If you would not like to donate an item, we will accept monetary donations as well.
Next Wednesday is the school's Christmas concert at the High School at 6:30. We hope to see you there!
Updates on students:
The 6th grade just finished their unit 3 exam and EVERYONE did so awesome!! They will be moving into a poetry unit. There were a lot of groans when I said this, but everyone turns out to love this unit. (Probably because they don't have to read as much. 😉) They will take a break from this unit at the end of the month for Christmas week!!!!! We do all sorts of fun, yet educational, activities that surround the theme of Christmas.
The 7th grade is taking their unit 3 test today. They just wrapped up an opinion paper for me. They, too, will be starting on the poetry unit next then move into myths and legends before starting their class novels.
The 8th grade is analyzing Beowulf before they head into the poetry unit. I am pretty impressed on how well they are digging into this epic poem. After Christmas break they will start their first of three class novels. I just love getting started on these!
