Spring Fever

As we take a short break and enjoy a week off of school , let's reflect on what we will begin learning when we return.



In our 2nd period reading class, we will be focusing on sequencing. We will complete several activities assessing our ability to sequence story events and, at the end of the week, create our own sequences for our classmates to follow!



In 3rd period reading, we will continue to read and discuss the novel, Taking Sides. We will complete a sequencing activity on Monday to refresh our memory about the important events in the story, so far. We will then continue reading the remainder of the week. Our first quiz will be a week from Friday on Chapter 1-8 (including vocabulary).



In 7th grade Language Arts, we are beginning our Career Unit! Monday, students will be taking a survey that will highlight possible career choices for them. From this we will spend the next three weeks researching our career, creating notecards, making an outline, creating a bibliography, making a visual, and preparing our speeches. More information will follow.



In 7th grade Reading, we will continue to read Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. Our first quiz (on Chapters 1-7) will be on Thursday. Please remember to read your silent reading books at least 20 minutes each day over Spring Break so that you are ready to begin working on your book report the week we return, as well!

Have a nice and relaxing Spring Break!
