It's been such a fun week as we have explored our novels in literature circle groups! I've included some pictures below of our Literature Discussion groups, literary yoga, etc. It's been fun to see students engage in deep discussions, talk about what they are reading & have moment and fun in the classroom. Oh, I am going to miss these guys!
Important information about what's coming up this week:
Our iRead party will be on Wednesday, May 16th. I'll allow students to qualify until Tuesday, May 15th. However, all permission slips (even if they think they will qualify) need to be handed in this Friday as stated below.
If students didn't get a permission slip today, they will on Monday. We also need parent volunteers and would love to have you help us out at the party!
One of my annual end-of-school-year traditions is to spotlight each student, take a picture & leave them a note (they'll pick it up the last day of school). I also email parents to tell them the great things about their student I've appreciated--keep an eye on your email.
We are encouraging students to work hard to be able to join us at the May 22nd giant 7th grade party. To qualify, students need: all passing grades, no excessive absences or tardies, and no office referrals. The party is a blast and the faculty and staff's way to send them off to middle school. Please encourage students to continue to push hard and finish strong.
Honors: May blog post and a May Writing Contest are due by May 18th.
