Blood, Sweat, and No Tears So Far

A few stapled fingers and lots of construction paper, tape, glue, and trips to the library for word processing, have resulted in some amazing work by our seventh graders in our preparation for the Night of the Notables (NON.)  I am so proud of our students' efforts.  This week, we will be wrapping up our learning centers/presentation boards and moving on to preparing and rehearsing for the big night.  We will practice memorizing our bio-riddles, prepare answers to commonly asked questions on NON night, and will craft a plan for our costumes.  Bioriddle speeches from memory will be on Tuesday, May 24th.  Students: remember to come dressed as your notable, but costumes shouldn't cost more than $10.  Borrow if you can.  Our NON study centers will continue after school Wednesday and Thursday  (5/18 and 5/19) until 5:30 in Room 202. Invitations to parents will go home soon.  We hope to see you there on Thursday, May 26th, at 6:30 (students will need to arrive early.  Details will follow in the next posts).

Coming Soon! Night of the Notables Study Center

In partnership with our SUN program, students will be able to put together their only homework piece for Night of the Notables: presentation boards.   Presentation boards are due Monday, May 16th.  However, students can take advantage of free supplies, a snack, and a ride home if they want to work on this after school.  Hours will be Monday May 9-Thursday May 12th from 3:30-5:30.  Students will  need to have a parent permission form on file in order to come to these sessions.  Students can get these forms from Ms. Snyder and are due the day before they come to study sessions.  If students are already enrolled in SUN, they can show up without a form as they are already on file.  This is a great opportunity to get their homework done away from home, on time, and with teacher support.  We hope to see your child there.

Night of the Notables

The H.B. Lee tradition of Night of the Notables is back!  Join our 7th grade students at H.B. Lee on Thursday, May 26 at 6:30 and meet our cast of famed characters.  Your job will be to try to guess who our costumed notables are by interviewing them with questions and in asking them to recite their quotations and bioriddles.  Support your students by helping them with their costumes and presentation center.  Presentation centers are due Monday, May 16th.

Thank you for your support and participation in the exciting event put on by our Language Arts department, Literacy Coach, and Library Media Specialist.
