The Giver

This week we will dive into the dystopian world of The Giver.  Wednesday students are to finish reading Chapter 4 and to complete the rest of the Chp 1-4 packet.

To students and parents of the 7D homeroom:
Remember to donate board games, dvds, snacks, restaurant gift cards and any other useful items for our theme -- Family Night Fun!

Freedom VS Safety

Over the next few weeks, we will be focusing on our Freedom VS Safety unit.  Here we will explore what makes up a "perfect society."  We will decide which is more important: freedom or safety?  How do we balance the two in one society?  We will be reading dystopian fiction by Ray Bradbury as well as reading the novel, The Giver.

Week of March 13th

Lot's of snowy fun this week!  We'll be wrapping up our Another Place, Another Time lessons.

Thanks so much for your help, folks!
