April 29 - May 3

ELA 7

Students are taking the mathematics PSSA on Monday and Tuesday of this week, so some of them will be missing ELA classes.

This week students will finish The Testing and begin working on a book trailer for the text.  The book trailer is due on May 7, 2019.

In addition to working on the book trailer, students will also be engaging in independent reading.  Students went to the library last week to check out independent reading books.  Students will be reading the books in class and completing various assignments/projects.  Please note that books should be 150 or more pages and be fictional.  Students should pick something that interests them since they will be working closely with the text for the next few weeks.

Last week students completed blackout poetry and performed various scenes from the works of William Shakespeare in honor of his birthday.  Pictures below.










Have a great week!

Thank you, Parents!

I would like to thank those of you that did the "parent homework."  You really brightened your student's day with your encouraging message.  It was a huge hit!

April 14 - April 19

Students will be taking the ELA PSSA this week, so there will be no ELA homework.  Encourage your student to do his/her best, get a good amount of sleep, and eat a nutritious breakfast.

Have a great week!
