Summer Reading

I will be collecting the Summer Reading on Friday.  Next week we will be working on a project with it so if you need to bring your story to refresh your memory next week please do so.

Also, the green class contract was sent out today and students will receive 4 HW passes once they are returned signed.

I can't wait to get this week started!  Here's to another great school year!

Welcome Back!!!!

Well, it's the start of a new year!  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again;  I hope you all were able to enjoy your summers and are also as eager as I am to start the school year.  

Summer Reading is due soon!  So all you procrastinators (I know you well, as I was one myself ;) !  ) get crackin'!  Enjoy the last holiday weekend coming up and I will see you all very soon!

The last full week of school....

Wow -- it's really hard to believe that this year is almost over.  It has been an amazing year.  But we still have some work to wrap up!

6th grade:  They are finishing their M.A.R.E. island narratives this week.  We will be hanging them up on our wall.

7th grade: They are sharing their M.A.R.E. coral reef animal story books with they younger grades this week.

8th grade:  They are finishing their research papers (due Tuesday), and starting their speeches for their graduation this week.

Week of June 3rd.... WHAT?? JUNE??? No WAY!

Cheese and crackers!!!!  It's the last month of the school year already!!!

Anyways, I'll be on another trip this week -- learning about our nation's capitol along with our 8th graders.  It'll be bitter sweet as it will be fun but also one of the last experiences we'll have together as a group, for they are moving on to high school next year. 

6th Grade:  We are finishing our island narratives and drawing a "book cover" this week.

7th Grade:  We are finishing our final drafts of our coral reef animal children's book this week.
