Special thank you to Mrs. LeViere and Mrs. Werneke for organizing this great presentation!.
In 8-3, Ms. Lee's ELA students discussed independently read memoirs.
In small groups, students voted and decided on the best memoirs to recommend to the school. The students' choices and reasoning for their chosen memoirs are being displayed to hopefully inspire readers throughout LVMS.
It was Crime Scene Day in Mrs. Reid's Forensic Science class! Students walked through a mock crime scene to collect observations and begin to "investigate" what happened at the scene. Students used investigatory skills studied throughout the quint to learn more about the perpetrator and victim and began to piece together exactly what happened at the scene by studying evidence, like blood splatter and finger prints that were left behind.
Mr. Katzoff's 7th Grade ELA Classes created "Novel Pizza Projects". Students analyzed novels they read by creating Pizza Box projects and organizing them into 'slices' of the story elements. In addition to being proudly on display in the seventh grade hallway and Mr. Katzoff's classroom after the gallery walks pictured here, some of the projects will be on display in the library to inspire more students to read and showcase the students' hard work, creativity, and insights.
It's Red Ribbon Week! Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States. This week will be a Spirit Week! Check out how you can participate each day to celebrate Red Ribbon Week.
