Ms. Venture’s Updates:
Science:
Sixth grade is very excited about their ocean project. More details will come over the following weeks.
Seventh grade is taking their Chapter 3 assessment on Monday. Study guides were handed out on Thursday.
Literature:
It’s drama time! Please join us this Thursday as we bring classical literature to life. This year we have chosen to combine the story of The Prince and the Pauper with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde into a live, 80’s themed musical performance. Students have been working diligently memorizing their lines and song lyrics!
Computers:
Students have the goal of earning five stars on all Typing Club levels. They should work on this throughout the remainder of the year. Ms. Venture is available to open the computer lab for student use on Mondays and Wednesdays after school and most Fridays. Please contact her if you would like to take advantage of the lab during these times.
Mr. Vieira’s Updates:
Riggs (Spelling): There will be no Riggs for the next two weeks as we step up our play practice. Riggs will begin again after the break.
