Today we had another Villiage Gathering. During ELA/SS we completed our daily grammar work, checked last week's homework, went over the directions for this week's homework, and read Terrible Things by Eve Bunting. Terrible Things is an allegory of the Holocaust and students linked events in the story to our key concepts this term: responsibility, causation, and connection.
We concluded our day by getting organized for Thursday's Student Led Conferences.
Pennies for Patients
This is the last week to send in donations for Pennies for Patients. So far, students and families have done an amazing job with their contributions.
Student Led Conferences Update from Ms. Newton
*Please note that we will observe the same times we had scheduled for last Thursday.
This night is designed for students to have an opportunity to inform parents about what they have learned, demonstrate new understandings and articulate personal goals for the remainder of the school year. Please make sure that you have signed up with your homeroom teacher to attend with your child(ren). Our goal is to have students independently lead parents through their portfolio of learning for the IB unit of inquiry, How We Express Ourselves. However, if you need additional information or clarification there will be an opportunity to indicate that. Teachers will respond to all inquiries via email soon after this event.
This sharing of work also includes Spanish, the Arts and Physical Education. Additional areas of the building will be open so that students can share how their learning in these areas also connected to the unit of study, How We Express Ourselves. Feel free to visit these areas after 4:00pm (not during your scheduled conference time).
- Music: Room 227
- Art: Cafeteria & Falcon's Nest
- Spanish: Media Center
- Physical Education: Multi-Purpose room
Also, feel free to stop by room 135 if you need to briefly speak with LINKS or EIP teachers.
