The students are finishing up a unit on All Religions
in connection with our Diversity and Inclusion work
with projects of holidays from religions other than their own.
Literature
In reading class the students finished The Odyssey
and are busy now with analysis.
The first day back to in-person school, the students reported that it felt strange, and they would need some time to recover from virtual school. When asked what they think would help them recover, they said just talking with each other, telling stories. So at their request, homeroom in the morning is spent telling stories. They are silly stories, and they are right. Just sitting and talking, laughing, joking, and being silly together has seemed to help them retrieve a previous animation. What clever children.
8th grade math class is preparing for the final exam with study guides. We will be working on our study guides for the next several weeks.

We are back from spring break and our eighth graders are hard at work as the countdown to graduation begins! In math class, students are studying the Pythagorean theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles. They are also enjoying their roles as team captains for the middle school intramural volleyball program. April 16, 2021 School Wide - Waste Free Lunch on April 22nd. Celebrate Earth Day!
