7th grade families,  We will have our annual  Outsiders  day on Tuesday, March 7th. Students may choose to dress like a Greaser or a Soc.    We will be brainstorming in class what each group might have worn.  Please email me if you have questions. Here are pictures from the past to give you ideas.  Some guidelines:  - No weapons or cigarettes are allowed, even fake ones.  - To stay true to the time period, we'll be avoiding leggings, sweats, and Ugg boots. - All outfits should be school appropriate.  We will also be watching the movie that week. It is rated PG-13. Please contact me if you prefer that your child not watch it. This will not affect his or her grade.   This is always a fun day!  Stay Gold,  Miss R. 

7th graders acted out deleted scenes from The Outsiders today. They're working on creating quality annotations for the last three chapters of the book! Most of them have been telling me how much they've been loving the book.

8th graders spent today analyzing poems set in the Civil Rights Movement, which is the time period during which Harper Lee wrote her book. We used the book Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson as our model. We're halfway done with To Kill a Mockingbird , and the students are excited to get to the trial scenes next week!
