This
past week the IMC and the Computer Lab have been utilized for
research. 8th grade Language Arts students are investigating the
1960s for their upcoming debates. 7th grade LA Advanced classes are
researching controversial topics for persuasive speeches. 7th grade
regular LA classes are delving into the world of careers for their
speeches. Next week sees IMC computer use by 7th grade LA advanced,
6th grade Social Studies, Consumer Education, and 6th grade regular
LA classes.
Heads
up -- the Spring MAPS testing will take place from April 29th through
May 10. There is a new schedule being piloted this time so only the
IMC computers and the Computer Lab are being used. Students will have
2 periods for each test. Hopefully this will reduce the number of
students who must be taken from other classes to finish or make up
these important tests.
