~Hope Week~
To learn more about promoting HOPE and preventing suicide, Lava Ridge will have a special daily focus and activity each day this week. We want students to focus on the good. Click the link/graphic above for more information.
This past week we finished our first class novel Cages. The main character, Kit, experienced several conflicts in her life that she felt like she had little to no control over. When Kit meets Mr. Morrison, however, he shares some good advice (words of the wiser). She begins to realize that she has more control over her happiness than she thought and eventually escapes her "cage" and then helps her mom and step father do the same. Students were assigned another Flipgrid prompt to show their understanding of this Notice and Note strategy. It is due Monday. (Directions are on Google Classroom.)
I have added a few more grades to Power School this week.
1. Quick Write (Book Accountability #1)
2. Contrasts & Contradictions
3. Tough Questions
Please take a few minutes to check Power School with your student and make sure they have turned in all assignments.
Thank you so much for your assistance!
