CRAZY JANUARY

What unusual weather we are having this January! Due to much snow and very cold conditions we have be closed 4 days for bad weather. Of course, these conditions have messed up everyone's schedule including the library. In the days we have had school the 8th grade Social Studies students have researched people and groups for a Political Spectrum project. Using print and online sources groups of students have investigated anarchist, liberal, conservative, moderate, and reactionary points of view. Just this past week 8th grade ELA classes have worked on an analyzing advertisements. Tucked in between all grades have checked out books for book reports and many students have taken quizzes at our new online book report website, ReadNQuiz.

Also this past week grade level Spelling Bees were conducted in the IMC to determine 2 finalists per grade to compete next Thursday in the District Spelling Bee. Congratulations to our finalists and thank you to all who participated.
