Week 38 Update & Schedule

Week 38 has arrived--it will be a fun week in class with reading "The Maze" in a variety of ways and learning about the California Condor and exploring some informational text along with it.  I have decided not to assign home reading for "The Maze".  As school is winding down, I can see I will not be able to get the student investment I was hoping for, so we will be doing all reading in class.  There were quite a few students who wanted to finish our poetry unit by creating chapbooks.  This activity will be done for Gecko Time or a before/after school activity.  I will let everyone know soon.

This will be our last week for Utah-in-the-News; we'll use the following Friday as a make-up day for anyone who has missed.  Please remind your student to print/cut-out the article and attach it to their Utah-in-the-News form and BE PREPARED to present on their assigned day.

Just as a reminder, May 22nd will be our in-class end-of-year drawing & the 7th grade party (after school).  Student can bring any donations for our drawing and treats as we celebrate a very successful school year.  All students who do not have any "I"s or "U"s are invited to attend the awesome 7th grade party. Please keep an eye on PowerSchool and monitor your student's grades.  I'll be posting extra credit options later this week.

Thanks again for your support--these last 3 weeks will be a lot of fun and 7th grade wraps up and I am really enjoying every day teaching your students!
