I am so sorry I have fallen behind on my blog posts. March is always crazy with spring break. But here is what is happening...

April 6th and 20th are Spirit Days for this month.
April 20th is an optional sack lunch day. The other option is cook's choice.

April 16th Science Bowl

April 20th is Ties and Tutus: father/daughter dance. The planning committee is already on this.

April 25th we have a middle school field trip to Conception Abbey in Missouri, more information to come.

April 27th NO SCHOOL

In language arts:
The 6th grade finished their first novel, "The Giver". After reading the packet they spent a class doing stations that all revolved around the book. It was very hands on with a lot of discussion. I think the kids had a lot of fun too. Their next novel is "The Outsiders" which they start tomorrow.

Mrs. Simmons even participated by trying to "see beyond".

The 8th grade started my favorite book today, "To Kill a Mockingbird". To get prepared for that they played bananagrams with chapters 1 and 2 vocabulary. This book fuels so much discussion, it's the best!!

The 7th grade has been hard at work on their Shark Tank projects. They are partnered up, some are by themselves, and created a business plan to bring to Creston. They are making presentations to present in front of the Union County Development Association. They will present on Friday. The presentations look great so far! There are a lot of neat ideas that would make Creston stand out!
