2015 EYMS Summer Reading Challenge for Grades 6-8
Why is Newsela sponsoring this Free Summer Reading Challenge? Newsela's mission is to unlock the written word for everyone. We know that summer reading is a vital component to developing and maintaining student literacy. We are dedicated to supporting teachers everywhere in their commitment to their students' growth in literacy. To that end, our goal with the Summer Reading Challenge is to help support the efforts of schools to encourage students to read as many articles as they can.
Grade 6-8 Codes
6th Gr. Code= YU2WFG
7th Gr. Code= CA2Q32
8th Gr. Code= WFUXU6
What is the duration of the challenge?
Start Date: Monday, June 1 End date: Friday, August 14
Do I need to have an account in Newsela?
Yes. If you do not already have an account, please follow the attached instructions to create one. Parents - please see these instructions to create accounts for your readers.
How I students participate?
Students participate simply by reading articles and taking quizzes starting on Monday, June 1.
What is my goal in participating in the Free Summer Reading Challenge?
Every student's goal for the Free Summer Reading Challenge is to earn as many word-points and badges as they can. A word-point is a point awarded to a student based upon their performance on reading comprehension quizzes. A badge is an icon that is awarded to a student based upon their reading activity.
How will I earn word-points?
- Students will earn word-points by answering quiz items correctly.
- Students will be awarded a number of points equivalent to the number of words in an article divided by the number of questions in the article quiz and multiplied by the number of questions that they answer correctly. For example, if an article has 400 words and there are 4 questions in the quiz, each question is worth 100 word-points. If the student answers 2 of 4 questions correctly, they will earn 100 word-points for each correct answer, or 200 word-points in total.
Note: Students must answer at least 2 quiz questions correctly (better than pure chance) in order to receive any points.
How will I earn credit from my ELA teacher?
My teacher will give all students first marking period extra credit for using Newsela over the summer and reading at least four articles. My teacher will also give the top ten performers a free homework pass that can be used on any independent reading assignment he/she chooses. In addition, my teacher will give the student with the most points/badges a $20 gift card to the store of his/her choice.
Where can I get computer access if I do not have it at home?

FInal Thoughts of 8th Grade By: Kate Keech and Stephen Wisler
As the end of the year approaches, we interviewed some T team students to get a better understanding of how they felt about their 8th grade year. We asked three questions to our fellow classmates. The answers we got were outstanding, and overall the survey showed positive feedback. The following are the questions we asked, along with the answers given by students.
How did 8th grade expand your thinking?
- It made me more responsible.
- 8th grade made me think more deeply into myself.
- I realized more about life and 8th grade caused me to be more accepting of others.
- Algebra was explained further in depth.
- I became a better writer.
- This year made me analyze questions and made me work harder.
- The politics with Mr. Marcini made us focus on real world events.
- We had more freedom to think about what we want.
- We learned school is more important if you want to get a job.
- 8th grade allowed creative thinking, more colorful output, and deeper logic.
- In 8th grade we worked more independently.
Has 8th grade prepared you for the high school?
- Yes, it made me more responsible with my school work.
- Yes, we got a glimpse of what to expect at the high school.
- I’m not sure because there are different schedules at the high school.
- Yes, the teachers were hard on us.
- Yes, we were allowed more freedom.
- Yes, we had to study more than we did in previous years.
- Yes, we discussed different political views and world problems.
- Yes, the teachers brought a realization to us, showing us that we had to care for our work.
What will you miss most about 8th grade?
- I will miss knowing where my classes are.
- My teachers will be missed because they took time to help.
- 8th grade classes were so interesting… I’ll miss that.
- It was easy to connect with friends and teachers because we all had a lot in common.
- I enjoyed scheduling and Mr. Little because of his first place track attitude.
- Mrs. Brown was pretty awesome in every way.
- Mrs. Fenton was well liked for her Pittsburgh Steel City accent and her willingness to push her students to be their best.
- Mr. Marcini was extremely outstanding with his constructive criticism and hilarious for his love for the worst team in the NFL (Oakland).
- Mrs. Lau LOVES ALGEBRA and she's not afraid to show it, she is a trooper.
- Mrs. Campo has a huge heart and you just could never be mad at her.
- Ms. Lesser is all around amazing and takes her job very seriously because it is about life.
As you can see, the 8th graders at EYMS thought that 8th grade expanded their thinking, prepared them for the high school, and will greatly miss the middle school. These wonderful kids answered our serious questions honestly and positively. Thank you to all of the students and teachers for a wonderful year!
Washington DC Trip Cancelled By: Izzy McKenzie, Ally Falk, J.T. Heiland, Harry Feltenberger
On April 28th the 6th grade students were supposed to go to Washington D.C for a field trip. Early morning on the day of the trip they found out that it was cancelled. Here are some of the students’ reactions:
“I felt disappointed, sad, and worried,” said Emily Hoyer.
“My dad told me while I was washing my face,” she claimed.”I didn’t think it was going to be rescheduled.”
Ethan Ankers said angrily, “I was mad and wanted to smash my face through a wall. I was hanging out with my sister when I found out. I saw people looking confused when I walked into school that morning.”
That day at lunch the students found out that Mr. Shoemaker worked very hard to reschedule it . They found out the new trip would be on May 26.
Here are some students’ thoughts:
Kylee Leahy said, “I was happy because Mr. Shoemaker worked very hard to reschedule the trip. Other people looked very happy, too.”
“I was relieved,” Emily Einsig stated. I was relieved because now we get to go there. I am grateful that Mr. Shoemaker was able to reschedule the trip.”
“I was pretty stoked bro,” Abby Smith said. “I am excited to see the monuments and the World War II memorial.”
Brennan Witman stated, “ I was mad because I brought all my stuff to school and had to eat my sandwich at lunch. I want to go on the bus because I want to watch movies, and I hope the seats are comfortable.” He also said, “I am glad Mr. Shoemaker rescheduled the trip later in the year.”
Overall the trip was a great success!
FIRST ANNUAL 8TH GRADE CAREER DAY A HUGE SUCCESS!
Eighth grade students at EYMS had the opportunity to be exposed to career exploration opportunities during the spring semester of 2015 in accordance with the Career Education and Work Standards as set by the state of Pennsylvania.
The counselors taught four career lessons which included an introduction to careers, a career interest survey, budgeting, and Career Bingo. Students were able to choose certain careers of interest to them then gather information about salary, education and job outlook.
On May 20th several career speakers came in to speak. The emphasis was not only on specific careers, but what it takes to keep and retain a job, such as being a team player, being on time for work, and having good communication skills.
As one student said “The thing I liked about career day was getting to learn about the variety of career options. It opened my eyes to many opportunities”. Another student remarked “The presenters were awesome!”
The picture shows two career presenters from Typical Life Corporation along with two individuals in the program who were along to assist. Thank you to all the presenters, the 8th grade teachers, and the 8th grade students for being attentive and willing to participate!
The following were presenters:
- Dan Garner-EYSD IT
- Nathan Nickel-Lancaster County Police
- Julie Keene-Flinchbaugh's Orchards
- Jim Heindel-Respiratory Therapist
- Matthew Kern, Earl Hockenberry, Liz Martinec-Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources
- Tom Malesic-Web Site, Integrated Marketing and IT Solutions
- Amy Parker, Lyle, Lee, Donald-Typical Life Corporation
7th Grade Physics Project By: Isabella Jensen
Each year, seventh graders at Eastern York Middle School have the opportunity to build a Rube Goldberg Machine, a catapult, or take the physics test. Each of these options require the students to know the same material, whether they will be presenting it with their project, or answering questions on a pencil and paper test. Building a Rube Goldberg Machine or a catapult also requires the students to design blueprints, build their machines, and eventually present them to a number of students, teachers, and visitors at our physics fair.
The material the students need to know includes knowing the six simple machines, Newton’s Laws of Motion, different forces, how to calculate IMAs (or Ideal Mechanical Advantages), the types of energy, and many others.
My partner, Savanna Myers, and I, Isabella Jensen, built a Rube Goldberg machine. At times, we found it hard to get together and work on our project, but in the end, our project was finished and ran very smoothly (except on some occasions when a marble got stuck or a domino fell over before it was supposed to). We entitled our project ‘The Cure’. The overall goal of our project was to turn the page of a book (we used a book of mine entitled ‘King Arthur and His Knights’) to ‘find the cure to the zombie apocalypse (which I had written in Elvish on a sticky note). In the beginning, we were very excited to build this machine after we had done the blueprints. From then on, we worked, and worked, and worked, to get it done. Nearer to the due date, it was becoming stressful and frustrating, but we sighed with relief when it was finally done and ready to go. For the Rube Goldberg project, we had to make a binder with a cover page, an optional table of contents, our final draft blueprints, a list of the simple machines, forms of energy, laws, and forces in play or displayed, IMA calculations, running times of our machine, and a conclusion page. We also wrote a backstory, so that people would better understand our theme of the zombie apocalypse. When all of this was done, and we presented it to our teacher, Mr. Monaghan, and the students in our class period, we got a number (#40) for the Physics Fair. At the Physics Fair, all of the Rube Goldberg Machines qualified to come were displayed to the whole school and visitors. Teachers from each grade would walk around and vote for which machine was best. In the end, we did not get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, but we did get 7th place out of almost 40 projects.
In conclusion, Eastern York Middle School’s Physics Fair was a success. It always has been, and always will be. The machines are fun to design, build, run, or just fun to watch. If you’re in sixth grade now, you’ll have these opportunities next year! I’m sure you will have fun. If you’re a parent of a seventh grader, or just a parent of an Eastern York student, feel free to visit the Middle School’s Physics Fair in the years to come. You will definitely have a blast!
7th Grade End of the Year Activities
Among the usual tests and homework, there are some things that will only be experienced during 7th grade. One such thing is the physics project. This project is an alternative to the physics test. This will task students to design, build, operate, and present a project that demonstrates the types of energies, simple machines, and Newton’s laws of physics. Students should also expect to build and race Co2 cars. Plus there will be the launching of rockets at the end of the year.
Moving on, 7th graders will write a choose your own adventure story, which gives a student complete control over how they want their story to begin and end. Also, if there is enough time towards the end of the year, students can expect to make English game boards. During 7th grade there is also Penny Wars, during which students compete to win a Olive Garden catered lunch. Students even get the chance (granted there’s enough time) to present a charity project with which students can try to get a charity of their choice donated to.
