Week 12/12-12/16

I want to send a HUGE THANK YOU to the parents that supported my Donors Choose projects for Bring on the Books: We Love to Read! (AR young adult books for the classroom library) and Art Comes Alive in English (supplies for coloring, cutting, and gluing). I am so touched by your generosity and support and all of my students will definitely reap the rewards when all of these items arrive mid-January.

Students are continuing with their reading of Maus I: My Father Bleeds History. Last week, students completed Depth and Complexity Charts for Chapters 3-4. They have improved so much since their Depth and Complexity Charts for Chapters 1-2 by going more in-depth and really thinking critically about the graphic novel by analyzing, synthesizing, and applying what they have learned. These scores have been entered into Parent Portal.

This week, we will finish the graphic novel and our last Depth and Complexity Charts for Chapters 5-6, which is their last assignment of Semester 1. WhooHoo, winter break is almost here!
