It is hard to believe, but we have begun the final week of our third quarter! Time really flies when you are having fun! Don't worry though, it only gets better from here!
The eighth graders this week, as well as one of the seventh grade classes, will be presenting their choice books to the rest of their class through an entertaining and informative presentation. Some students have chosen to stretch their craft muscles and create beautiful poster projects, while others have chosen to use their tech savvy to compose their presentations. However they have chose to do so, this is a great opportunity for students to use the literary language they have been learning all year, and express their opinions about literature. I can't wait!
The seventh grade will continue their study and reading of Anne Frank and her iconic diary. Students have gotten the chance to view the war and the Holocaust through the eyes of someone who experienced it first hand, and to identify with Anne, as a typical teenager with her emotions, confusion and thoughtful contemplation.
