Seventh Grade
Last week, students used their game projects as a review activity for the novel Stargirl. Several projects were exceptionally created that included great questions for reviewing. I appreciate the effort that students put into this project. The students are creating their own reading strategies based on what good readers do before, during, and after. We will begin our unit on Loyalty this week.
(This includes Ms. Gilbert’s class as well.)
Eighth Grade
The students completed a project of their choice for their independent novel. Several projects were impressive and showed the time and effort that students used to complete these. The students are creating their own reading strategies based on what good readers do before, during, and after. We will begin our unit on Mythology this week.
