ENCORE! Field Trip!

Hello!

This Thursday is our 8th grade field trip to The Carnegie Music Hall to see Encore!  I am excited to see five plays in one-- and these short stories ALL coincide with our Literature Textbook and are featured in our next unit! :)  Pretty cool!

Slight change in plans...may I ask all students to pack a lunch which we will eat together when we return to school?  Also, there is parking right by Carnegie Music Hall (located at 4400 Forbes Ave. Pgh. 15213).  There are options for garage or street parking.  Thanks.

Also: I NEED ONE MORE DRIVER!  Is anyone willing to drive?  Mrs. Taylor, Mr. Handley, and I  are driving, and we can collectively take 15 students.  However, there are 16 eighth graders!  We just need one more driver to do this legally. :)  We leave at 9:15 and should be back by 1PM at the latest.

And please get your permission slips in.  The cost is $16.50 per ticket.

Thanks so much!

Hobbit Projects!

The 7th Graders did a great job with their Hobbit projects.  We had several creative book trailers, an interesting commercial, beautiful dioramas, dramatic scenes, and a music video! Here is a little peek at a few dioramas.  Great job, seventh grade!
