1/12 Humanities

There are some exciting things happening in class right now:

-Students have completed the first book of their spelling program and are in the process of taking the post-test to move onto the next book. Please check PowerSchool to see if your child is caught up with the requirements for this.
-We wrapped up our class reading of The Hunger Games last week to a round of applause by the students. What a fantastic read. It has helped to set the backdrop for our discussion of the role of government. Students are culminating their reading of the book by creating a representation of some aspect of the novel.
You are invited to a gallery walk of their work next Friday (1/20) from 1:30-2:30 in the library.
-Students are continuing to build their knowledge of the formation of the U.S. government. Students have been researching a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and we will be holding a Mock Sock Convention next week. Please check PowerSchool to see if your child has completed the various aspects of this assignment - the overview, the biography, and the script.

If your child starts making strange requests of you - needing spare socks, dirt, food, googly eyes, etc. - don't be alarmed. Our two ongoing projects are craft-heavy right now and I've encouraged folks to scrounge and reuse what they can. Thanks for your cooperation.
