Summer is here !

I will still try to post some information when there is something to share this summer.
The class lists for next year in TAG are tentatively set. There will be 19 new sixth graders next year in either Math or Reading.
I also hope to put more emphasis on some different areas, such as the National Geography Bee, since I do have some younger students that are very interested in that subject.
I am not sure if I will still do Mock Trial. I don't know if students really want to do it, and it is getting hard to compete against schools that have on-site attorneys to work with them. However, the process and lessons learned from the experience of preparing a trial help students in many ways, from the writing to the thinking and the speaking aspects of the cases. I'll have to see if there is interest from students and parents.
It is sad to see the 8th grade go on to the high school, but they will be a positive addition there. There are many really strong and able kids who work hard in that class. They will be missed. Congratulations to Adam, Travis, Jessica, Bryce and Caleb on a great end-of-year video. Everyone enjoyed it.
More later this week.
