Jumping January!
The CMS Talent Show was on the 10th and the book club had an awesome act, "You Should Be Reading." If you missed it - below is a video that doesn't capture the beginning of the act but I think you will still like it.
The Book Battle kicked off with a total of 3 teacher teams and 18 student teams of 4 students each. All participants have to read at least 4 books. Participants get credit for a book when they turn in 3 questions. Student questions are used for the battle. There are some great books on the list. Click here for more information, including the list of books. So far, students have logged 111 books read for the battle!
It seems like everyone is doing research these days: 8th graders are preparing for debates, 7th graders are finding out about charities, and 6th graders are investigating health. In the library they learned about RADCAB, a vehicle to help evaluate the information found. Find out what RADCAB stands for here.
