This week in seventh grade we'll be exploring the new technologies developed during WWI. We'll be studying tanks, early aircraft, and trench warfare among other things.
On Thursday students will need to wear jeans and their red field trip t shirt. They should also bring a change of shoes and socks. We will be getting extremely messy! Also, if you happen to have a shovel that we can use on Thursday, we would greatly appreciate it.
Thursday night is one of my favorite nights of the year. Please join us for the annual Harvest Festival. The Harvest Festival is a free night of family fun for all ages. Yes, even middle schoolers can enjoy a night of games, crafts, and baked goods. If you are planning to enter the baking contest, you may bring it to school on Thursday anytime before 3:30.
Sergeant York is one of the best WWI movies I have ever seen. It won 11 academy awards in 1941. Some families might like to check it out on Netflix.
