We are officially in the countdown to the end of the year...6 more weeks! WOW!
 |
| No time for sleeping...only 3.5 weeks to final exams!!! |
Please remember that Discovery School does have a dress code, and if you do not come to school dressed appropriately you will be asked to change. Girls, this means no bare shoulders, no short skirts or shorts; boys, this means pants that don't show the underwear. If you're not sure what you're wearing is appropriate, ask
MAP testing begins next week...stay tuned for the schedule!
Please be checking the Administration Blog weekly for other Discovery School announcements!
Although this week is short, it will be packed full of learning...
6th grade: BRING YOUR LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE BOOKS/KINDLES EVERY DAY THIS WEEK! Those of you without a Kindle will be given copies of Little House on the Prairie Wednesday in class. All of you will be given your Little House on the Prairie packet on that same day. DO NOT LOSE THIS PACKET! If you lose it, it will be your responsibility to re-print the packet and re-do all your work. I will also be notifying parents if the packet or book are forgotten more than once. Be responsible! This week you will read chapters 1-2 of the book and plan what to pack in the wagon if you were going on a trip west. Your "Who Went West" packets and America Will Be textbooks are due in class on Wednesday!

7th grade: You will start your final unit of the year this week; Australia and Oceania. Wednesday and Thursday you will have time to work on the maps in the textbook, and Thursday and Friday you will be in the computer lab researching for your final country project of the year!

8th grade: Don't forget your Martin Luther Trial research this week! Wednesday you will have time to work with the Lawyers to prepare for the trial, which will take place in-class on Thursday and possibly a bit on Friday. Friday you will also finish the Martin Luther movie!

The research packet with questions about the Oral Histories from WWII is due in class on Wednesday (along with the September 11th extra credit sheet) and your actual Oral History Presentations will be Friday, May 4! Wednesday in class you will listen to and evaluate a radio show from World War II. Thursday you will have a webquest in the computer lab about the end of the War, and Friday will be presentation day!
