Reaching New Heights at MMS
AIG classes will begin the year with an orientation to classroom routines and expectations. Homeroom teachers will issue agendas this week so that students can begin to enter assignments and important dates. Be sure to put a name in permanent marker so that I can return it if it is lost. This week also marks the initial lessons in literary terms, stems, and writing organization.


Workshop Cafe Friday

Fridays are shopping days at the Einstein Store. Students earn Einstein Dollars during warm-ups and for academic rewards. Don't forget to ask for your birthday Einstein Dollars! Readers/Writers Cafe Day!


For those wishing to join Battle of the Books 2010-2011, attached is a list of books for next year. Please join and help us win at the competition this year. Books required for the Battle of the Books will substitute for the reading required from the AIG classroom list. BOB books (Battle of the Books) can also be substituted for AIG listed books in all the projects and testing.
Battle of the Books List



Special congratulations are due the following students with birthdays this month:

Welcome to our newsletter link! The newsletter features articles and stories written by AIG students for their parents and peers. It contains important dates for school events as well as those for the AIG classroom-mark your calendars! We hope that you will find our newsletter not only informative but also entertaining with our “Authors Corner”, a corner full of stories in all genres for all ages. The gifts of our AIG population shine in many areas and deserve a public format. The students are excited to begin, and we look forward to your support in this project. Published articles are extra credit for the students with Einstein Dollars.


Check the assignment calendar for assignments, grades, and the latest news in the Einsteinzone. Please note that the grades were published at this web address last year, but this year the district will implement a published grading after the new year. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSING assignments will be published at www. einsteinzone.com and can be submitted as an attachment with the email link provided.


Eighth Grade AIG
The academic focus this month is basic-learning and/or reviewing the socratic seminar procedures, literary terms (the language used to discuss reading),building a vocabulary, and basic writing techniques for a beginning projects.
Fridays will remain our day for conferencing and on demand writing. Participation in Workshop Cafe requires completion of weekly academic goals.

Seventh grade AIG students use the Mozart Effect to stimulate writing before creating stories from newspaper articles and/or practicing stems with news summaries-one of the on demand activities typical of Friday's Workshop Cafe.
