Welcome to another great week at Ac2E Middle School. I am extremely happy to say that my 7th grade Reading students scored a 97% passing on the 7th grade Reading District Benchmark. It is only November and all of my students surpassed my expectations. I cannot wait to see what the 7th graders can show me throughout the rest of the school year.
This week we will continue to read 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' by John Boyne. We will be reading every night this week including the weekend in order to finish this novel before the Thanksgiving Holiday. We have learned that Bruno is oblivious to everything going on around him (concentration camps).
