I'm beginning to think that Conner is a political cartoonist in the making! He did a fantastic job of summarizing our most recent chapter of The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, and he enhanced his summary with fantastic illustrations along the way. Fantastic work, Conner!
Follow these links to see the great work of other students: Storm Jeremy Robert  Cassie did a stellar job of reading a magazine article, then synthesizing what she learned into main idea statements. She shared her great thinking on Today's Meet (an online discussion board) with her classmates. Great work, kiddo!
 In the past two and a half weeks, Storm has been a reading machine! He has completed two books, and he's well into his third. Way to go, Storm!
Books he's read since break: Hiroshima and Nagasaki Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Third Wheel The Kill Order (in progress) Keep up the amazing work!  Meghann did an amazing job of analyzing the poem "Mother to Son," by Langston Hughes. She figured out the symbolism behind the "crystal stair" that the mother in the poem is comparing to the perfect life. Way to go, Meghann!!!!
 Students with fewer than 3 office referrals between January 22nd and March 14th will be treated to a movie and popcorn! We will take a field trip to Copper Creek theater, where we will watch Oz the Great and Powerful. It looks pretty fantastic, don't you think? See you there!  Val and Dakota K. practiced their point of view and summarizing skills by writing a series of tweets from the point of view of Liesel, the heroine in The Book Thief. Great work, girls!
