Reminders:
As winter break nears, we would like to celebrate the conclusion of several projects and tests with a student breakfast. We would like to ask each student to bring in a little something to share on Friday, December 22. Students will sign up in Ms. Johnson's room. You can also respond to this email, or contact ajohnson@mymtsd-vt.org
In addition to the breakfast, students will have a variety of activities in which they can choose to participate. If you or your child has a board game they can bring in, this would be a great help.
Outdoor clothing needed for Wednesday advisory time (coats, gloves, boots)
Math: Module 1 Test Wednesday and Practice fractions over break
Language Arts: Students are expected to hand in their explorer essay today. Students that are not prepared to meet the deadline are welcome to stay after school today (Monday) and Wednesday 12/20/17.
Science- Kids are working on creating testable questions. Science Fair will be February 8th
Social Studies: There are quite a few students who did not complete their "The Things They Carried" project, so Monday will be used for those students who need to complete their work. For those who have finished, I introduced an opportunity for our students to communicate with a 6th grade class in a public school in India. My son is working their for the year as part of a "gap year" program and has connected us with the classroom. Some students are make a video, and many others are writing letters. This will be the focus for part of our week. Here is a link if you would like to see the classroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8yovO56diA
We will also be viewing the movie Apollo 13 as it relates to modern day exploration.
