8th Grade Seminar Update — Week of 3/5/18

On Thursday, our 8th grade seminar will be attending the play, “The Great Leap” at the Denver Center for Performing Arts.   Last Thursday, we had a guest speaker from the DCPA give us some background about the play and we’ve been learning a bit about the events of Tiananmen Square to help us prepare.  As per CHOICE tradition, students are expected to dress up and they should also bring a sack lunch on that day.  We’ll leave around 9:30am and return around 2pm.
This week, we’ll also be doing some “book speed-dating” and we’ll also continuing our book group discussions on To Kill a Mockingbird.
Upcoming due dates:
  • Every night;  Read 30 minutes.  Students should not be reading ahead in TKAM, so they will likely need a book on the side.
  • Tuesday, March 6th:  Chapters 3 and 4 of To Kill A Mockingbird.
  • Thursday, March 8th:  Sack lunch and dress up for DCPA play
  • Monday, March 12th:  Chapters 5-8 of To Kill A Mockingbird.  Possible “surprise”  reading-check quiz on that day.
Have a fantastic week!  -Josh Feiger
