We will continue to model and revisit these throughout the year!
They had a conflict...
But they worked it out!
Halloween at Holicong!
FUN with FRIENDS and Ms. Ambrosini's Students
9th GRADE UPDATES
Mr. Kaeser, Mrs. Trammell, and Mrs. Wentz hosted a virtual book talk for interested students with Kwame Brown featuring guest Jason Reynolds, #1 best seller and author of Long Way Down. They provided advice and insight into the writing process from their perspective and was a great experience for our students.
8th GRADE UPDATES
In 8th grade English, students have begun reading The Outsiders, our first class novel! Students are busy applying elements of fiction to the novel while getting to know the Greasers and Socs. Stay gold!
7th GRADE UPDATES
7-2: The fourth installment of the Team 7-2 Games is completed! The team ventured to the Tennis Courts last Friday and competed in an oldie but goodie 7-2 game, Jump Around! Each team had three jump ropes tied together and the students had to complete three jumps in a row, gradually adding additional jumpers after each successful series of three jumps. It was a tight competition, but Mr. Barno's team emerged victorious! The current overall winner is still Hilbert, but there is a trio tied for second place: Barno, Brunner, and Garland! It's getting interesting!
In the continuing quest for the Victory Cup, Team 7-0 competed in a scavenger hunt last Friday. Students worked together to complete challenges, taking photos of their myriad achievements. The competition was close--with mere seconds separating the winners, but Mrs. Madden's I & E class snagged first place (again)! Tied for second were Ms. D'Arcangelo's and Mrs. Smith's I&E classes with Ms. Ambrosini's I & E class taking third place. Mrs. Madden's class stands as the overall leader right now with the other classes clamoring to snatch the Victory Cup from them in our November competitions. (photos texted to KS)
