How do we increase our love of reading? We practice! The 7th grade language arts classes are spending the first 10 minutes of class reading every day. The kids in Ms. Gustafson's class are really enjoying their books of choice!
CMS 8th graders worked in small groups this morning to investigate the credibility of websites. They learned how to identify credible sources, spot biased information, and compare websites. Ask your Digital Media student about the "Rule of 3"!

7th Grade ELA has completed a years worth of vocabulary words. The only thing left is to ace the final test! Today, we're studying hard with an online game.
This week's 7 maroon student of the week is Alexandra. Alexandra works really hard to accomplish her goals. She takes her education seriously. She advocates for herself and has steadily improved throughout the year. We are so glad to have Alexandra on our team!
This week's 7 silver team has two students of the week! They are Cade & Ammi.
Ammi is very kind and patient with her classmates. Her homework is always completed on time and getting caught up after an absence never takes her long. Her quiet leadership in the classroom does not go unnoticed. Thank you for being a silver team rock star.
Cade sets a wonderful example of taking educational responsibility. He is a quiet leader. No matter what the task, he gives it his all. Whenever a classmate needs help or has forgotten an item, Cade is the first to volunteer help. Thank you for being a silver team rock star.
