We are well into the fourth quarter now and all classes are in full swing. Tenth graders are reading Animal Farm by George Orwell. The connections they are making during class and group discussions are really meaningful. They are almost half way through the book. We are working on IXL to improve sentence structure and we will have some formal writing assignments as we continue with the book, along with vocabulary quizzes, usually on Tuesdays.
Ninth graders finished presenting their Life Lessons projects. I heard a lot of positive feedback and we are really appreciative of all the parents and family members that were able to attend. Each of the presentation times had special guests present, which made the experience better for the students. Ninth graders just started a writing assignment to inform and explain about advantages they have had in their life. This ties in with the first sentence of The Great Gatsby, which we will start reading soon.
Have a great week!
