THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PLAY "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" WAS EXCELLENT FRIDAY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE SOME WHOLESOME ENTERTAINMENT, COME TO SCHOOL ON SATURDAY AT 7 P.M. AND WATCH IT. BRING FRIENDS. IT IS WELL WORTH IT, AND LASTS JUST 50 MINUTES.
This morning we started with a discussion of a country capital (Washington, D.C.) and learned four new state capitals:
Charleston, West Virginia
Richmond, Virginia
Annapolis, Maryland
Trenton, New Jersey
Students completed Language Arts tests and we all congregated for a Spirit Day assembly.
In Johnny Tremain we read to the end of the section. It was very humbling to learn what happened to British deserters. We are noticing that Johnny is not so proud anymore. HOMEWORK IS TO READ A BOOK OF THEIR CHOICE FOR 30 MINUTES A DAY. Next week we will resume Johnny Tremain.
In math we made posters showing right triangles, acute triangles, and obtuse triangles. On Monday we will learn three other kinds of triangles. It is difficult for the students to draw acute and obtuse triangles. Any help you can give them (pointing out various shapes in the community, giving them scissors, rulers and pencils and having them make an art form out of triangles, etc.) will help. HOMEWORK IS A SEPERATE TEST THAT WAS SENT HOME: UNIT 4; CHAPTER 5A. THERE IS NO HOMEWORK FROM THE WORKBOOK.
We were most fortunate to attend the 12 o'clock showing of "A Christmas Carol". Thank you to the parents who made that possible.
After a lesson about our Circle of Control, from the Covey 7 Habits, we attended mini-courses.
