Thank you to Mr. Hood and Ms. Donnell for sharing their experiences with our students. It was truly something they will never forget. Congratulations to our talented 8th Grade Artists who presented their work at the Coonley Art Exhibition this week. Bravo to our Broadway in the Park Performers for sharing highlights of Guys and Dolls with us.
ELA
Students had a great time working in their YA Book Club groups and share incredible insights about their novels on Friday for Room 316 and coming on Monday for Room 314. We will be exploring Unit 1: The Challenge of Heroism in the Springboard curriculum. Students will view poems, articles, and fiction all related to our theme.
Writing
As we wrap up the 8th grade year and their time at Coonley, students will be reflecting on their experiences. This week they will write a letter to the Class of 2024 with advice, a final reflection and select writing pieces to complete their Writing Portfolios as well as a Graduation Credo to reflect on their time at Coonley and set goals for what is to come.
Social Science
We are nearing the end of Unit 5 in Facing History's Choices in Little Rock Curriculum. Students will engage with a range of texts/images focused on the Little Rock Nine students and their experiences. We will look at the concept of intersectionality, The State v. Federal Courts decisions, Shaping Public Opinion, and the Legacy of the Little Rock Nine.
Have a wonderful weekend.
