JUNE
We shall be working full-speed ahead
until the end of school.
Terifically busy time for 8th
graders, especially, please held your student plan and organize
carefully.
Social
Studies--currently we are working on group collaborative social
studies assignments which culminate in an oral presentation before
the class--type determined by the specific groups. Class is
then held accountable by group's choice--worksheets or notes or
word searches or quizzes or tests or assignments. The variety
and type of work chosen has been most interesting.
SpringBoard--we are working on a unit on humor. Lot of
pairing and sharing in creating assignments. Lots of
information gained and realization that humorous writing is perhaps
some of the most difficult to understand and create ourselves. One
more Embedded Assessment left--we're not there yet!
Mid-quarter Progress Reports went home two weeks ago for Social
Studies and Language Arts. If you did not receive these, you
might ask your student to see them.
Hope the ending the school year is productive and successful and
fun for all!
