Man, I am pooped from today! I had a blast watching the students put up the tents today in English class. Some students were blind folded, some couldn't talk, others could only use their right hand. Whatever the case, each were presented with an obstacle and they had to work together as a team to overcome the challenge. Ask your child, how did today's activity relate to the film, Remember the Titans, which we watched on Friday during seminar.

LC2 needs to make sure they have read and completed chapter 10! There could be a pop quiz in the future (hint, hint).

LC1 and LC3 need to have read through chapter 9 and completed chapter 9 questions.

All learning groups need to make sure they have turned in their first AND second draft of their essay. I will conference with each student with ways to improve their writing so that their final draft will be well written and grammatically correct. Final Drafts will be due Friday in English class. I am available before school if your student needs additional help!

Please view the facebook page for pictures from today's activities! (To be Posted Tomorrow)

Happy Viewing!

Good Afternoon! As week three comes to a close, we are making our way through, To Kill a Mockingbird. THis weekend, students are responsible for reading chapter 9 and complete chapter 9 questions.

Today we used our class time to peer edit an essay the students wrote, comparing a poem to their personal lives. For Monday, the students must have completed their second draft.

Have a great weekend!
Note...we will be outside Monday (weather permitting) for English class...your student won't want to miss the fun activity we are going to do that correlates with the movie they are watching in club time today, " Remember the Titans."
