We're Counting Down to Christmas!

Hello parents!


The Language! classes have taken a lot of mastery tasks this week. We have a few more to take and then we will be beginning Unit 18! The English concept we are working on and will continue to work on next week is suffixes - ed, ing, er, est, s, and es.

The 7th grade class is almost done listening to the book Number the Stars. Ask your child to tell you about it. It is a historical fiction book by Lois Lowry.

Seventh grade social studies students have begun their Powerpoint presentations on facts about the Earth. They will be working hard on them next week too. They're learning some new technology along the way.

The seventh grade Languauge! class will be having a small Christmas party on Friday the 21st. The students may bring a treat to share with their classmates - chips, cookies, crackers, etc. I will be providing the beverage. As part of the party we will be
having a gift exchange. The gift exchange is not mandatory. Girls bring a girl's gift and boys bring a boy's gift. Please do not spend over $6.00.

That's all for now!

Happy Holidays!
