The Final Countdown: 6th Week of the 6 Weeks

Greetings Newman Parents!

Can you believe we are down to our final 6 weeks? What a great year of learning we have had!

Quick Note: Reports cards were sen home today ! 4/23/2014

This final 6 weeks we will delve into a few great American novels:

7^th Grade will read “the Adventures of Tom Sawyer” by Mark Twain.

8^th Grade will wonder into the world of the Greasers and the Socs in S.E. Hinton’s “The Outsiders”.

10^th Grade will roar with the 1920’s reading            F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Tales of the Jazz Age”

Students will have a Reading Log (Due April 30^th) uniquely designed to suit the time period in which their novels are set.

Students will also have a Fictional Character Analysis final essay as well as a Novel Portfolio due at the end of the six weeks. May 23^rd .

Probably the most exciting part of the last six weeks is the Newman Talent Showcase, CLASS Trips, Field Day and Awards DAY!

Oh did I forget the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL? Wednesday, June 4^th!

Finally, I am so thankful for all of the Newman Parents who have partnered with US to make this a wonderful year.
