Christmas Carol
The show was wonderful, and the students really enjoyed it! Thanks to all the parents for driving. This day is always a highlight!
Big Sonia
Today was a great day! I loved hearing quotes like this from your students: "Excuse me, I'm off to change the world!" " I learned that everything is a gift, and I can't take anything for granted." I encourage you to talk to your students. Many left feeling inspired, but there were also some pieces of her story that were tough to hear. Your child might want to externally process. Thanks to all who drove! The filmmakers surprised us and showed up for a Q&A! They also brought Sonia's animal print chair as a prop. Thanks to the Brady family for sharing their connection with Sonia! To think it all started with a fourth grade specialty project. If you'd like to see the movie, it will be at Glenwood Arts for the rest of the week.
Class Update
Students have been busy, busy, busy this week and the couple weeks before break! As the quarter comes to a close, there are upcoming tests and dates coming up: - 8th grade: Christmas Carol Test: WED 12/6 Field Trip: THURS 12/7 Essay: TUES 12/12 - 7th grade: Field Trip: MON 12/4 Test 12/12 Notebook checks will also be in the next two weeks. Any extra credit and book talks for the quarter are due on THURS 12/14. It's been wonderful to see the students feel excited about what we're reading. 7th grade girls are getting very passionate about characters in the books we're reading, so much so that they're decorating my entire board!
