L.A. Blog-Happy February!

It's hard to believe we're already into February, and we had our first official Snow Day! I hope everyone had a good three day weekend because of it.

This month, we are wrapping up some big projects. The eighth graders have completed their WWII  books and are currently working on their Scrapbook. This project requires a lot of collaboration as well as self-management. Mostly, the students will be working on it in class, but they may have to do some at home. This project is due Thursday, February 12th.

Next, the students are working hard on their research papers. They just turned in their outlines and works cited page, both of which are essential to the final draft. Any errors they make on these should be corrected for the final paper. The final paper is due Tuesday, February 24th.

The most important thing to remember for this month is that the students need to balance their time between doing work in class and at home. I often give them a lot of class time, so they should be using it wisely!

Wrap Up:
Mosaic Project due Thursday, 2/12
Final Paper due Tuesday, 2/24

Have a wonderful week!
