We have begun reading the teleplay, Brian's Song. Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers were both running backs for the Chicago Bears in 1965. The story deals with the rivalry and the subsequent strong friendship that developed between these two very different young men. The students will continue to read Part 1 of the play and complete the Graphic Organizer For Active Reading /Words To Own sheet for homework (p129-130). The students do NOT have to do the bottom of Words To Own. We will complete that in class.
Today during Academic Enrichment, we went to the computer lab to finish our 5 paragraph essays about our Hero/Heroine.
The Team 7-2 students are very excited about obtaining a pen pal from a foreign country. The response has been overwhelming and we will be collecting $2.00 next week to give everyone a chance to participate in this wonderful opportunity.
DCU Credit Union is sponsoring an essay contest. See the Team 7-2 NEWS bulletin board in the 7-2 hallway.
Belated congratulations to the Team 7-2 Students of the Month voted by the students in Mr. Bellerose's class this month. Lavier Narcisse and Stephanie Murray won this award based on their sense of teamwork, positive attitude, sense of responsibility, and academic achievement! Well done Kids!!!
