Outsiders

By -
The 7th graders seem to be really enjoying The Outsiders. They've been full of great questions and thoughts! We're working on reading Ch. 5 due Tuesday. They did a fabulous job creating a cell phone for a character. There were some awesome connections!




The eighth graders are also doing a really nice job with To Kill a Mockingbird. I was really impressed with some text-based questions that they asked today. We're over halfway (!!), and are reading Ch. 16 for Monday. We're gearing up for Tom Robinson's trial. 

Have a great weekend! Happy Valentine's day. The parties today were full of candy and fun. Thanks to all the parents who helped with them.

The 7th and 8th grade had the chance to hear from some of our students from last year! We talked a lot about being ready for high school and what skills would be helpful for our middle schoolers, regardless of what high school they choose. Thanks so much to our 9th graders for this great information! Feel free to talk to your child about what he or she learned.
