I can hardly believe that we've made it to Thanksgiving Break. It seems like yesterday students were piling into class on the first day of school. We've come a long ways since then! With the beginning of the 2nd Trimester, students have just recently turned in our Writing Packets with their "Empress Theodora" summary essays. We also put together our latest Ch. 2 Packet which we'll start working on after we get back from break. Students received their new point goals for Accelerated Reader last week, so hopefully everyone is keeping up with their 210 minutes of reading each week. We've got ourselves two Million Word Readers now in Bantaland, Rory O'Toole & Katie O'Donnell. Yahoo! The O's are leading the pack! Keep it up, people! You want to have at least 500,000 words read by April!
In other school news, we all recently watched a video about stopping bullying. Bullying is a huge issue at middle school campuses throughout the United States. HMS students studied a lesson on the power of being a bystander and what a person can do to support a student being bullied. At Harvest we want to make our school a safe place to learn and grow. Let's work together in solving the bullying at school. Remember the Golden Rule? Treat others as YOU want to be treated.
