Track & Field Day

Track & field took place today. It was wonderful seeing our students participating in various events. Pictures will be coming soon.

We had class in between the various events. We started with novel study and discussed Chapter 10. Students have been assigned the reading of Chapter 11 and the questions for it for homework. This work is due on Monday.

Next, students worked on the Digital Citizenship project. Today’s goal was to do the background research. Students were asked to produce 2 pages of hand written jot notes based on their readings. They were also asked to use websites that are geared towards educating youth (e.g. Netsmartz, Common Sense Education, The Edvocate, etc.) about digital citizenship. Many students made excellent progress with their note-taking. Some were caught taking short cuts and beginning their slideshows without note-taking. The attention of these students was redirected to reading and note-taking. Devices will be needed next week as students continue their work on this project.

Finally, we even managed to make time for math, which we were not anticipating. We took up all of yesterday’s homework. Students have received the review package for the patterning unit. This is to be completed over the weekend for homework and is due on Monday. The unit test is scheduled for Tuesday, May 28^th.

Remember to return permission/trip forms/payment as applicable for Cedar Glen, graduation, Year-End Play Day, and spring fundraiser activity.

Cedar Glen trip permissions are past due.
