We have had a long haul of very light homework, and not much is changing on that front! This month we are working on persuasion and propaganda in English and the Civil War in History. Most of our work is getting done in class.
Over spring break students will have homework dealing with persuasion and propaganda, and students need to finish their book report books (they should be affixing post its to "golden lines", which are lines of text that are really well written, or carry great imagery or meaning.)
When we come back from break students will need their English work as well as their finished books in class every day.
All history work will be done in class. If you have an interest or knowledge or family history about women's rights, civil rights, or the Civil War and would like to come into class to talk to us please give me a call or drop me a line!
As always students should continue to read a minimum of 1:45 each week. Also, I am missing many books. Please look around the house and send any books you find back to school as I buy them out of my paycheck.
There will be extra credit in 7th as well as 8th grade coming very soon so look here for it, and finally, Wells is having a Spring Reading Event at Barnes and Noble on May 1st. I will be there giving book recommendations and advice and would love to see you all there too!

Reading is a Family Affair
