Today in Miss. McFarland's English class we read Touching Spirit Bear and learned that Cole would be returning to the island in Alaska where he was mauled by the Spirit Bear. Students reflected on Cole's anger throughout the novel and how one of the characters in the book described anger as a "memory never forgotten." Students then made a connection to the feeling of anger by thinking and writing about a time they felt anger and the consequences of what they did when they were angry. In Mr. Martin's class, they have a set of questions from chapter 14-20, as well as a one page assignment regarding vocabulary from the novel. The last large assignment from the novel before Christmas is to complete their "Fakebook" entries, with 15 posts, and 10 comments back from various characters in the novel. A link to the "fakebook" template can be found on the list of handouts on this page.
Socials (McFarland)Students should be bringing home their Neanderthal Story assessments throughout the week as they complete their good copy. These need to be signed and then returned.
Mr. Martin's class was to turn in all their notes and the video questions from chapter 2-5. Unfortunately, some students still haven't turned them in. Please remind your son/daughter that it is their responsibility to see what homework they missed
PE We had Ms. Krystine Lucas in today to teach Hip Hop. Here are some photos from the lesson
Science: Today Mr. Martin's class had a presentation from Mr. Dave Derbowka, a local expert on ground water. The students learned about local aquifers, and about a trees ability to live off the water that runs off of a landfill site.
