Greetings,
The campout was a great success! In fact, it was one of the smoothest running and cooperative outings that we have had. Looking forward to the spring too. Thanks so much to a great group of chaperones, and to all our drivers.
This coming Friday we have a guest speaker for our advising group. Iliana Fontal from Northwest Family Services is coming to show a film and do a presentation on drug and alcohol awareness for teens. I will also be preparing the 6th graders for this workshop in our inquiry class.
We will start book groups in advising this week, and I am continuing to read aloud and discuss Bread Givers by Anzia Yezierska. I will have two groups of 10; one will read To Kill a Mockingbird and the other will read Snow Falling on Cedars. Discsussions and writing reflection will be mandatory as part of a language arts component of advising. Next quarter, 6th inquiry will be through and I will offer a middle school writing course in the scheduled offerings.
In other classes:
Rough drafts due in Once Upon a Time... on Thursday 9/27.
First performances in Sound class on Wednesday 9/26.
Final auditions and cast posting for Little Shop of Horrors on Tuesday 9/25.
PLP/Literacy class final drafts due on Wednesday 9/26.
Make sure to check syllabi for details on grading.
