This week at a glance - We getting closer to the end of the Superhero Project. The final draft of their creation short story was due before lunch today. The checklist of what needs to be done before being complete is listed above. The creative and exciting part gets to come into full swing this week and students begin working on their actual comic book. We are using www.comiclife.com to create the book and are very excited to see the finish products.
The kids are also learning about the Civil War this week, which many are really interested in. The best part is that they'll get to watch a Civil War reenactment during their 8th grade trip in a few weeks.
They will also be doing two days of Star testing, so please make sure they get a good night's rest and arrive on time to school this week.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Jennie
