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).
I am getting so excited for the BIG night. You all (students AND teachers) have been working so diligently. I have already learned a lot about some Notables and can hardly wait to learn more! Thanks! ~alyson
