Week of September 16th
Hello 9th Grade Learners Extraordinaire!
Shoutout to all of those who came to Back to School Night! We had so much to share and were so glad to meet and see all of you. If you were unable to make it, we have included our slide decks in this letter. We are deep into our contemporary art project! Please have conversations at home about supplies!!! Each group’s work is different, and will require different materials. If there is anything you are unable to supply, please email the Humanities teacher (Carol or Jen) and we will take care of it!
CELEBRATIONS
*Gelsey, Ashley, Corrine and Alanna had a really great prototype for their art piece about women’s rights! We could really see the final product coming to life! Fantastic work.
*Zubin, Mariah, Joaquin, Kevyn, and Anthony took some great photographs exploring gender expectations and identity for their contemporary art project!
*Jacob Sh., Brenden, Evonna, and Eunice are doing a lot of experimenting with their art which we’d like to celebrate! Continue to experiment and question as we create these pieces of art! The experimentation is just as important as making it to the final product.
*Livia, Caesar, Priscila, and Alyna stepped up as leaders during the group reading activity in Physics with Mr. Mike!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
MULTI-CULTURAL FESTIVAL
We would love to have some parents run a booth for our teams during the Multi-Cultural Festival! If you are interested in helping out, we would absolutely love to take this opportunity to raise some money to lower the cost of future field trips and to purchase supplies for our classrooms. Please email [email protected] or [email protected] . Popular booths have been ice cream booths and food donated by places like Panda Express.

CAROL/SCHWARTZ TEAM SLC SIGNUPS
Below is a link to our Fall Student Led Conference Schedule. They will be happening on October 8th, 9th, 10th, & 11th. Please note, you do NOT have access to edit this document. To sign up for a time, please email Carol at [email protected] 3 times that work for you. Alternatively, you may highlight a square and put your student's name, and we will email you back a confirmation. In either case, you will receive a confirmation of your date and time for your SLC. The reason for not allowing editing access is that we have had instances in the past where names were accidentally deleted and then we had multiple families show up for an SLC. This way, we can monitor and be sure that your time is truly only your time! Carol/Schwartz Team SLCs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D5L73ytFavFEDXzvyQWP5a6nLVTrwZDP359i9s6L7e4/edit?usp=sharing
