Knothole Project

By -
8th graders finished up their presentations of their knothole projects, which ties into the chapters we finished in To Kill a Mockingbird. Jem and Scout find items in a knothole that someone left for them, so the kids brought items that they could leave for someone. I always love seeing what objects are significant to them and hearing the stories behind them.

Well I think it is safe to say that Tall Oaks was a success!! We have all heard great feedback on the trip and a number of the students have said they want to go back...THIS YEAR!! I'd like to give a shout out to Peggy Kelly for doing the bulk of the organization work. She took the time to contact Tall Oaks from the very beginning and we all thought the day went wonderfully! Below is a picture of some members of the Seton house and Siena house working together to get everyone on the large teeter-totter. It took a few tries but they did get it!

(Students have the entire weekend, plus Monday to complete the weekly assignment.) What to Look Forward to in 3 rd Quarter Writing • Correct & Revise articles from Teen Magazines--first 2 weeks back from Winter break; putting closure to this project will include several reflection processes as well as a celebration,...

Students, Remember to mark our work day on 11/24 (the Monday right before Thanksgiving). We will be in the lab. Bring flash drives and any supplies you need for your projects. Make sure you're caught up on Membean by that point if you're wanting to work on your project for the whole class. You will be at 390 minutes for the semester by that point. Thanks! Miss R.
