Students were moved by Just Mercy. We will finish the last 20 minutes of the film tomorrow. Graduation Pictures are Wednesday and our field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry is Friday. What a Week!
ELA - We will be finishing our novel study of Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night, this coming week. We will be preparing for a final exam on the text.
Writing - Students are finishing drafting and revising their Young Author's manuscripts due on March 24, 2023. Students are continuing to complete their personalized Grammar Quill activities and assignments this month. We will be starting Checkology from the News Literacy Project soon which explores journalism and news writing in a variety of media settings to give students the skills to be critical consumers of news media.
Civics/Social Science - We are finishing up the Burge Reparations Won Curriculum and look forward to an opportunity to meet with a Coonley parent to discuss their work as a Civil Rights lawyer in April. You should have received a letter introducing our last unit of study Facing History Choices in Little Rock.
Have a wonderful week.
