Homework Competition
There is a homework competetion going on in all of the middle school reading and writing classes. The competition is between each class in each grade as well as each grade against each grade. We are looking for 100% homework completion in each class. 7th grade needs to win this one!
After 10 days of everyone doing their homework in each class, Mrs. Lambert will bring in brownies for the class. I have offered to double that for the two classes that I am in.
COME ON AND GET YOUR HOMEWORK DONE!!!
There was no homework today in reading, writing, social studies, or math.
** if you did not complete the map activity for The City of Ember over the weekend, you need to make sure you get that done. We reviewed it today in class so there is no reason that you should not have it complete.
Friday, January 23, 2009 is pajama day.. bring in a $3.00 donation to wear your favorite comfy pj's to school.
PTO has separated the box top competition for the elementary school and middle school. The middle school class who brings in the most box tops will win the spirit cup. Make sure to bring in your box tops by the end of the month (which is next Friday).
Next Friday (January 30th) is also the gathering. If you did not have any referrals, detentions, or ISS then you are able to attend. Dont forget to bring your real money and PCA bucks to purchase food at the gathering.

Reading Homework
Reminder: There is no school on Monday, January 19, 2009 due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
7A reading does have homework over the weekend though. They have a map from the City of Ember and the City of Ember book. Starting on page 16 they are supposed to skim through the text looking for the pathroute that Lina took home from school. List the path on the back of the map so that it makes it easier for you to find the way. Mark the route on the map as well.
Today in Social Studies we watched a video and predicted what Chapter 3 is going to be about. We are going to be beginning Chapter 3: The Ancient Americas next Tuesday. We are going to be looking at North America, Middle America, and South America, specifically the Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, Pueblos, Mound Builders, and Anasazis. We will also be learning how to employ the reading strategies from reading class into Social Studies class.
Have a wonderful weekend. Stay warm!!!
