The ACRMS Science Department Halloween Dance will be Thursday October 30th 3:30-5pm.
Please click the Sign UP Sheet to volunteer at the dance and enter your information.
Proceeds from the dance will be split amongst 6th, 7th, and 8th grade science teachers. We would love for families to be able to contribute by donating small cans of soda (Sprite, Coke, Fanta, Dr. Pepper), bags of candy, individual chip bags, and store bought treats (cupcakes, cookies, etc). Please give those items to your child's science teacher. We also need volunteers at the dance, to set-up for the dance, and sell tickets. This is a dress-up dance, so come in a costume!

Please be sure to read the letter linked under events and reach out to your student's science teacher for questions or concern.
Greetings Reynolds families! We have had a great start to after school clubs with over 100 students participating. I look forward to seeing how their enriched learning unfolds. I know that they are having fun.
We have access to many community resources and services through the various United Way partners, and Buncombe County. When you go to the Reynolds Resources Page, you can click on the links which will take you to the various documents in a Google Drive. Anyone with the links will have access to view the documents. The folders and documents will be labeled in a manner that corresponds to their sections on the website (Food, Clothing, Legal, Mental Health, etc.) If you have trouble accessing any of the information, or have suggestions for any additional resources, feel free to let me know. carrie.wagner@unitedwayabc.org.
Community Nights start on Tuesday, October 21. You can pre-register your household with this QR Code.
We welcome volunteers to help serve food, check families in, and engage in many activities. Please share the HandsOnAsheville volunteer link with your friends and communities who may want to support our Community Nights in this special way. Volunteers can choose which nights they want to volunteer, and Respond as either individuals or groups.
Next Community Night: October 28th in the cafeteria from 5:00-6:30pm

Core Class Updates
Students have been expanding their knowledge of Earth's atmosphere through real-world connections and hands on investigations. We will continue learning about all the ways our atmosphere affects life on a daily basis.
Please consider donating $5 for lab supplies if you are able; you can send cash or check in with your student any time or follow the QR code below!
Students took Friday Assessment #7 today. This will be on 2nd Quarter's grades so they have time to do test corrections if needed.
We are working on graphing proportional relationships and comparing different proportional relationships.
Accelerated is covering the same standards but the bulk of their work is through their Menu Project #1. See more details on the class website (work in progress).
If you student needs extra practice or support, please look back at the class website often for updates (work in progress).
Our 7th graders have been traveling the world—without even leaving the classroom! We explored the powerful Ming and Qing Dynasties in China and learned how the Ottoman Empire rose to greatness after the fall of Constantinople. Students discovered the “Gunpowder Empires” and their golden ages of art and culture, then crossed oceans to see how Spain, England, France, and the Dutch built empires in the New World. We also looked at how exploration and trade connected continents—but also brought challenges like slavery and global conflict. It’s been an exciting journey through history as students uncover how our world became connected!
We are wrapping our first unit, Community and Belonging. We have one more story in this unit and then students will take the second unit 1 assessment. Students will still continue their grammar warm-ups and will take a quiz next week. We have finished our novel "The Outsiders," so students are now reading their own independent book. When we start unit 2 students will be reading a book club book that focuses on the unit theme of adolescence. Please encourage your student to read at home—every minute of independent reading helps them grow as readers and counts toward their reading goals.

Throughout the past few weeks, I have had the pleasure of visiting Social Studies classes to re-introduce myself to the 7th graders. I helped transition these students from elementary school to middle school (if your child went to one of our feeder schools), got to be the counselor for half of the 6th grade last year (those on Endeavour), and now they are all mine for the rest of their middle school journey!
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting our new students at a welcome breakfast. I was the new kid when I entered 7th grade and remember how that felt, so it is important to me to have this time and space for them to connect with each other and with me.
I look forward to continuing on our journey together through middle school!

This week in AIG, seventh graders were introduced to their first project. They will be creating a slideshow that has tips for students new to middle school. They will do some research into adolescent psychology and reflect on their sixth grade year to come up with their tips. Then they will put them together into an engaging slideshow, and present it. Students will utilize speaker notes, a script, or notecards as they present.
