As students sell tickets for our fundraiser, please make sure to bring the money in to homeroom. Students can win prizes! If ticket books are not being sold just return them and they can be recirculated to other students.

8A and 7/8B will present their safety guideline on Tuesday, Sept. 22nd
7A will present on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd
Students have used either skits, power point, posters, videos or smart notebook to teach their classmates about one of our ten saftey guidelines for the Science Lab. If they haven't finished they may work on it at home. Because it is group work, they have had class time and will have all their student enhancements until it's due to work on it.
Safety contracts will be sent home by the end of next week to be signed by parents/guardians.

Students should be reading at least 15 minutes per night and have been encouraged to discuss our novel study on Ruth Minsky-Sender's The Cage. It is a powerful, non-fiction novel based on the Holocaust and WWII. Through at home discussions I hope students will make more text to world and text to self connections.

Students have been working in groups with Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart" and turning it into a storyboard. They must have their scenes on looseleaf, a rough draft on white paper and the final copy on cue cards (or another medium of their choice). The plot can not be altered but the characters, setting and other details can be. Have fun!
