Sorry!  Things have been chaotic at the end of the year!  For those of you who were absent, let me know what you need to catch up. 

 

Important Dates!

Social Studies:  Civil War journal is due Tuesday June 14th.  We will assemble the journal in class tomorrow, but please bring all your printed entries and pictures.

 

Language Arts:  Thursday June 17th is our Outsiders Celebration Day!  The whole seventh grade is invited to dress like the 1960s and show off their theme based artifact.  Projects need to be turned in on Wednesday so they can be displayed in the library. 

 

Please email Mrs. Brotherton if you have questions.  Class time has been devoted to letting students work on both projects since last week.  Students who are spending a lot of time working on these projects at home may not be making the best use of class time given.  I can give extensions up until Friday, but you need to meet with Mrs. Brotherton to make those arrangements.
