The MHLT Olympics last Friday afternoon were absolutely fantastic! The weather was warm and sunny and the enthusiasm in the whole middle school was truly great. It was a nice chance to show our school spirit.

Now, we are back to the classroom with much to do. Seventh graders are reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, and the discussion has been very insightful and interesting. We are also finalizing our Kid2Kid Biography project - which will end in an exhibit on Tuesday, March 9.


Eighth graders have finished their spring writing assessment, which was quite challenging, and will now begin their mythology unit. That will end in them making videos where they remake the famous myths in a modern day setting. First, we need to read several classical myths. Then, we will see what the kids can do!

Finally, we have a trip for all 7th and 8th graders to watch Beauty and the Beast at the high school on Wednesday afternoon. Obviously, we have much fun and learning this week!
