Team Updates
March Reading Madness: Last Friday we participated in our second school-wide "DEAR" event. Students earned the privilege of wearing pajamas if they read for the full 50 minutes during advisory. In English class, students created Mad Libs as part of our DEAR event. Next Friday, March 24th, is "read-a-shirt" day. Students are encouraged to wear t-shirts that include words and quotes!
Reading Challenge: Thank you to all students who have submitted their reading challenges to Mrs. McGuire! Just a friendly reminder all 500 minutes are due by May 31st. Don't forget to get your signatures! Happy reading!
Class Updates
Social Studies:
Science: The Genetics Test will be on Monday! Students have a study packet that we went over in class to use for studying. Good Luck! Next week we will start to figure out the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction. Students will begin to construct models to show how individuals can be genetically different as a result of sexual reproduction.

Literacy: Latin Unit 10 test is Friday of this week - so everyone should be working diligently to learn the material. Remember that Quizlet helps you to learn the vocabulary as well as the roots! Students should be working on their Omnictionary projects by editing their existing slides, as well as working on new slides. This week we'll be analyzing cartoons! Additionally, this will be the last opportunity to make up any tests or other work before grades close!
English: Students will be reading chapters 16-20 this week in The Giver and will be preparing for another mastery assessment on contextual vocabulary words. Students will also learn new skills and concepts for these five chapters during class. Mrs. McGuire will be staying after throughout the week in order for students to make up missing work before grades close. Be sure to take advantage!
Math: Friday we finished up our Proportions unit. It wasn't an easy one! This week we will be moving on to Geometry and starting with circles, there will be a quiz next Friday. Be sure to work on your Go Figure for this month, they are due March 31st.
