Week 12: Field Trip Fun!

What an exciting week!  Students did a fine job listening and participating in our Weldon Spring experience.  I appreciated how intrigued they were with such important history happening right here in Missouri!  Our S.S. unit continues with the environmental impact of humans on our Great Lakes Ecosystem.  WATCH FOR an important letter to come home from Ameren UE next Friday as they have graciously sponsored us with kits for EVERY STUDENT to learn about energy conservation and how individuals can do their part.  Check out our photos below.

Our drama field trip to LHS has students laughing at the actors and themselves as two of the one acts focused on students and how "they" write a paper or take a test.  We saw many Zion alum on the stage and behind the scenes!  Photos can be seen at the Twitter feed @LHSSCTheatre.  

From Mrs. Dersch:  Spelling:

This week we handed back our Spelling Unit 8 packets and received our Unit 9 packets. The spelling packet and test will be due on Thursday, November 10th, which is a change from the normal Friday due date.

English:

This week we focused on appositive practice. We completed a packet and discussed ways to use appositives in our writing. We will continue studying those next week and have a short quiz sometime next week.

Advent:

Students were introduced to  our play this week and teachers will be selecting actors to start rehearsals on Monday.

MUSICIANS - we have changed the date for auditions to Tuesday, Nov. 15.  Please be practicing your songs

Dragon, Dragon in Literature

We had our own taste of drama in Literature.  We studied characterization in various stories and then students had an opportunity to transform one story into a drama.
