Wednesday and Thursday

Wednesday was a "normal" day with the exception of the band leaving for HMS in the afternoon.  We worked on the Jason Project for science.  This is a website that brings each student through a series of activities about weather.  There are games, videos and text to read about this topic.

Students were given time to finish up those portfolios as well if they needed it.

Today, we had our portfolio share time.  It was nice to see so many of you here.  If you didn't get to come, the portfolios are coming home tonight so that you can look at your leisure.

In reading, we played a game where students looked at copies of book jackets with the titles whited-out and tried to figure out which titles they knew.  Some of the book came from their younger years and some were from their time at MSS.  It was fun to see their reactions.

We had the Middle High School's reading specialist and librarian come down to talk with us about books!  They put together a nice hand-out for the students.  Please ask  your child for that.  Also, this afternoon the Interact Club came down to talk with us about their trip to Honduras.

Don't forget about the permission slip for Red River Theater.  The movie that we will see is "The Mighty".  It is rated PG-13 for mild profanity.  Please sign that you give permission for your child to watch that as well.
