Brian's Song: Language Arts



Students are concluding a unit on drama in language arts. We read the original script for the movie "Brian's Song" and then watched a more recent version of the movie to compare and contrast the dialogue and camera effects.

Spartans of the Month


Congratulations to Kathryn and Noah, our Spartans of the Month for April! Way to go!

Endangered Species Pathfinder

Mrs. Barbarino, our librarian, was kind enough to create a Pathfinder full of great websites about the endangered animals! Here is a link to the site! If you need more information, feel free to look here!

Endangered Species

Spartan students will be starting a unit on endangered species soon! They will be discussing some aspects of endangered animals in Science class. In English, they will write a research paper about one particular endangered animal. In Language Arts, students will be reading Hoot!

This should be a fun unit for the students! We're hoping they will learn lots of great new information about endangered species!
