We have had a very busy week not only in the classroom but also out of the classroom. We had many people come and share their knowledge and experiences with us. Here are some of the high lights and a couple things to keep in mind.
We were lucky to have a picture presentation on Africa. The pictures were amazing and the information shared was superb. I think that everyone in the room felt sometime through the presentation that they would like to go visit Africa themselves.
The Homecoming Court came and shared their activities and talents with us. We got to hear how busy and well rounded they are. We wish them all the best as well as our football team next Friday. Our elementary and middle school will be taking part in the homecoming activities. We will be dressing up next week to show our Warrior Spirit.
Monday- Neon Day
Tuesday- Favorite Team Day
Wednesday- Hat and Crazy Sock Day
Thursday- Wear Pink to show support for Breast Cancer. The high school volleyball team will also have their "Think Pink" Night.
Friday- Warrior Spirit Day (wear South Winneshiek clothing or colors)
Legacy Tour and Travel visited 8th graders on Friday to introduce the educational travel opportunity of heading to Washington D.C. The trip will be June 1-7, 2014. Students should have received 3 color brochures of attractions and a white paper with the dates, price and itinerary. There will be a parent/student meeting for more information on this trip Wednesday, September 25, at 5:30.
Students continue to work hard in the classroom and out. 7th grade is working hard to create a poem on nature and 8th grade is moving from analyzing poetry to a review of genres. From there we will move into strategies of becoming an active reader.
Outside of class the football team will be taking on Oelwein, cross country will be traveling to Waukon on Tuesday and Independence on Saturday, and volleyball has a home game Monday against Turkey Valley. Students aren't just busy with school sponsored activities, many are also involved in their communities. This makes for wonderful Warriors.
