What do you know about tiger sharks? Not much? 7th grader Solal can teach you! In Grade 7 EAL, we read the non-fiction National Geographic feature, “The Summer of Sharks,” in which author, Glenn Hodges traveled below sea-level to explore how tiger sharks and their importance to our seas.  We read for information, viewed incredible undersea photos, and analyzed how tiger sharks contribute to the oceans’ ecosystems.  After completing an outline of important information on tiger sharks, we wrote an informative paragraph to share all we had learned about this incredible species.

5th graders learned how to write exciting hooks as part of an introduction to an essay.

They also practiced timed impromptu writing by analyzing and writing about a picture.

And in other news… our 9th graders bring in the yummiest lunches!

Our next monthly EAL event will be held this Wednesday, November 16th from 3-4:30pm.

Grades 1st-6th will be watching The Emporer’s New Groove and

grades 7th-12th will be watching The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

YIPEEE for Movies and Popcorn!
