Shark Students and Parents,

Thank you to all parents and students for the terrific turnout at our Student-Led Conferences!  We really enjoyed talking to parents and letting our students show off their work from first quarter!

In social studies classes, students have been working on a Piracy RAFT (Role, Audience, Format, Topic) activity.  This is an assignment that allows the blending of fact and fiction.  Students are to be creative as they journey back to the Golden Age of Piracy (late 1600's-early 1700's) and "meet" notorious pirates like Blackbeard. The RAFT assignment is due Tuesday, November 17.  

We will have a test on Friday, November 20 on the Thirteen Colonies.  Students need to study notes pages 9-14 PLUS any other notes pages that we add between now and then.
 
I encourage students to discuss our studies at home 
with parents.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  

Reminders:  
*Send in items to support our soldiers overseas!  We are collecting items to support Kenny Martin (Zack Martin's dad), Anthony Powell, and other soldiers in Iraq.  We need:  Twizzlers, Peanut M&M's, breakfast/granola bars, magazines, Lance crackers, hard candy, gum, and toilet paper.  (No chocolate except Peanut M&M's...because of melting issues!) Thanks for supporting our American soldiers!!!

*US Whitewater Rafting Center trip "good-faith" deposit of 
$10.00 due by the end of November. (Total trip cost=$70.00)

*Do your best everyday!

Let's work TOGETHER for an awesome year!  
Point to Ponder:  It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.  -Eleanor Roosevelt

Truly, 
Mrs. Chrissy Blackwell
