\r\nWriting
\r\nFirst grade students have been working hard in their writing classes. Students are engaging in Writer's Workshop daily to help them grow as writers. Currently, students have become authors of their own personal narratives. Personal narratives are true stories that include a beginning, middle, and end, characters, setting and transition words like "first," "next" and "finally."

\r\n7th Grade
\r\nSeventh grade social studies students have learned about life in the middle ages.The dirt and grime have not scared students away from studying this time period. Students have learned about trade and commerce, crime and punishment, and diseases and their medical treatments. The differences between mystery plays and miracle plays have been discussed. Most importantly, students have been able to connect the similarities of guilds, apprentices and journeymen to modern day.
\r\n8th Grade
\r\nThis week the eighth grade students had an opportunity to visit Alliance High School’s Career Tech Program. They were able to tour the classes, talk to the teachers and students and even participate with some hands-on activities in Welding. This was a great experience and the students really enjoyed learning more about options at high school. This visit was perfect for our eighth graders to prepare for high school scheduling to know what things they may be interested in for their electives. Many of these programs have introductory classes that students can take as freshmen so this was great timing as in January they will be meeting with the high school staff to discuss scheduling further.
\r\nCode Girls
\r\nSelect girls will be attending Code Girl 2019 at Walsh University to discover computer science and engineering concepts through hands-on activities. Students were able to attend field trip free of cost and will be collaborating with girls from ten or more other districts in the surrounding areas.
\r\nWinter Arts Night
