The Math students have moved up to 3rd place in the First in Math competition ! They have passed two other teams and are doing great ! Congratulations on working so hard and we will continue to strive until the end of the game on April 30th to see how much we can achieve.
Good luck to those competing in the Optimists Club oratorical contest tomorrow ! Students are able to win scholarship money if they place in this competition. The topic is ; "What does optimism mean to me ?"
Younger classes will be working on Amphibians and Earth Day next week in TAG.
Eighth graders are continuing to "enjoy" poetry in Reading class. They are actually learning about some different poets: Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, e.e. cummings, etc. I am anxious to see what classic poems they discover and what original poem they have written for next week.
Sixth graders were preparing for a story called "Dragon,Dragon" and our connection in preparation included a discussion about who has the most influence on the student's decisions. I would say that the whole class expressed that their parents really had the biggest influence on what they thought and did, followed by teachers. We had a lively discussion about the role of siblings, including many entertaining stories about the sometimes painful and unconventional way they interact. It was encouraging to hear that most students respect their parents' decisions and realize that parents and teachers have their best interests at heart.
