7/8 M

Don’t forget Monday is Orange Shirt Day. Wear your orange shirt and help to do your part for reconciliaction!

7/8M & 8P will be visiting Fletcher’s Farm tomorrow morning. Dress for the weather and bring a box lunch.

7/8M: 
We kicked off Book Report #2 today, which will be a Graphic Novel Book Talk. Each student was assigned a short graphic novel and given the details of the assignment. 
Presentations will take place next week and will be brief (60–90 seconds). Students are expected to: 

• Introduce the book 

• Identify the story’s nation of origin 

• Share the lesson or moral taught in the story 

6/7M, 7M & 8P: 
These classes are continuing to work through Book Report #1, which focuses on picture books. If students mention needing to read a picture book, they’re telling the truth! Each student will need to read six picture books by the time the assignment is complete. 

All Classes: 
Students are also actively working on Newsela assignments during class. They are expected to stay engaged and on task at all times—even when I am working one-on-one with other students, as I’m currently focused on completing individual reading placements. 

Please also remember that students are expected to read at home each night and to record the start and finish dates of each book in their Reading Duo-Tang. 

While the girls were away attending the Girls for Girls club, the boys from our class took on a special task, delivering orange t-shirts to classes 3W and 1M. They also enjoyed some time getting to know other members of our Raider Family. A great time was had by all!
