Last week was full of MAPs testing and project design/building. We finished the Outsiders novel and celebrated by watching the movie and comparing the book to the movie (comparison is due Tuesday). Be aware that the Flash Fiction Final draft is due this Friday. Please take a look at it and help your student with final proofreading. The History mini project is also due Friday. Check with Keith or look on GoogleClassroom: Humanities for more information.
Our schedule is finally getting back to normal after a very eventful October. Thank you to all of you who made it to student led conferences. It is so evident that our students have much support at home as well as school. If you were not able to schedule your SLC, it's not too late! Contact me for an appointment. Today we started the boys' and girls' groups. I enjoyed sitting in with the girls and understand from Keith that the boys' group was as exciting. Due to our class party on Friday, I forgot to remind kids to bring their home-to-school journal home. You should have seen it today after school. Please sign and return back to school tomorrow.
Please mark your calendars for either Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 3:45-4:30 pm or Thursday, Nov.19 at 8:15-9:00 am. We will be talking about our 2 big trips for the year. The Biosphere2 Tuscon trip Jan 20-22 and our end of the year Zion National Park trip June 6-10. We will be talking about the itineraries, costs, fundraising and chaperone needs. If you cannot attend, please contact me.
Last but not least, did you listen to the weekly call on Sunday? Our school is hoping for 100% participation in our Pledge Drive.(extended deadline!) If you haven't already, donate! Even $1 makes a difference. If you can't contribute, how about a note about something you appreciate at IA?
Have a wonderful week!
