What a first week of school in LA/LIT!

Genius Hour was introduced on Monday, we learned how to use our reader notebooks, and continued to build connections by reading Wonder by R.J. Palacio and creating reflections of Bystander to hang throughout the hallways at TMS for when James Preller comes to visit.

We were able to get our LMC orientation and Mr. Goldstein came to help inspire us to read about our passions, or even start a trend by reading a brand new book and spreading the word about it.

Next week, we'll be visited by James Preller, we will set up our blogs, we will begin writing, and we'll start off the week with Genius Hour, as will become the norm. If you haven't yet completed the Interest Survey, please click on it now!

Welcome!

Room 239 is looking for scholars!  Room 239 is looking for your genius!  What are you bringing to our classroom?  Is it imagination? Creativity? Self-Awareness? Courage? Adaptability? Perseverance? Passion? Get ready for an exciting year - finding out who you are, being inspired by others, and changing the world... if you'd like!

Please take 10 minutes to fill out this Interest Survey (just click on it). This will help me figure out what we'll be reading in and out of class. This is the same survey that's on our Edline page. Thank you!

I can't wait to meet you, and find out what you have to offer!  ~Mrs. Kirr
