Today the classes were assigned their first week of Wordly Wise. They must complete the unit one packet sections 1-A, B, C, D for Friday. The other half of the assignment is to write a one-page essay using ten of the week’s words.
We began our unit on multiple intelligences. We will look at how each of the students learns best and will custom fit our teaching toward this information. Students filled out a survey and graphed the results. We will all be making a poster to represent our MI later this week.
Keep reading your S.S.R. books. We are half way through the month and the book project will be assigned in about two weeks.

**Disclaimer for School Weblogs**
These weblogs will be used to keep lines of communication open between parents, students, and teachers. Classroom information will be provided on assignments, long-term projects, and various class announcements. That being said, these are some things that parents and students need to read and understand fully:
Weblogs ARE NOT intended to replace assignment notebooks. These are designed to support them.
Teachers will use these weblogs AS THEY SEE FIT. Not all teachers will post assignments every day. Some teachers might simply choose to include upcoming tests and long-term assignments, or may not use them at all.
DO NOT RELY on these postings. As you know, the teaching day can get busy and assignments might not be accurate on certain days. This is why the assignment notebook should be the primary tool for keeping track of assignments.

No Wordly Wise homework this week.
Today we completed the Connecticut Course On Responsible Boating. We will have a review session on Thursday, and students will be given the exam on Friday. A score of 80% is required to pass the exam and to be eligible for a Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation (good for the operation of any recreational vessel including a personal watercraft – PWC). If students wish to obtain a permanent boating certificate, they must submit a completed application, $25.00 fee and proof that they have passed this course. This must be done in person at the D.E.P in Old Lyme. We will be providing students with additional information on this in the days to come.
The May book project was assigned on Tuesday and is due next Thursday, June 4th. Students may not choose a project that they have done in the past.

REACH (Responsible Educated Adolescents Can Help): Making Smart Choices
Today, Youth and Family Services presented an assembly and classroom workshops for 6th and 7th graders that were designed to raise awareness about drugs and alcohol. Student leaders from the high school joined Jane Moen, Youth Coordinator from YFS, to bring a strong prevention message to our students.
