Hi Families!
I want to congratulate those of you who turned in EXCELLENT work samples!
Here are a few AMAZING samplings of what I found when I was looking over your work. Keep in mind, this is just some of the stellar work that I saw from my students. Due to space and time constraints, I was not able to publish everything to the class blog. Many of you turned in exemplary work samples!
Read over the following excerpts from student work, maybe one of them is YOU!
An 8th grader who was commenting on his Art sample:
“In this picture I created an abstract tree by using simplified shapes and colors. I used repetition by using several ornaments on the tree in similar shapes and sizes. I arranged the white ornaments in a way that it drew your eyes down the tree...”
A 7th grader who wrote about Johannes Gutenberg for her History essay:
“…the most influential person in European history was Johannes Gutenberg. He invented the printing press with moveable type. This was a groundbreaking invention, and without him and his printing press, knowledge would not have spread nearly as fast. As a result, the world would be nothing like it is today.”
A 6th grader comparing and contrasting early civilizations in her History paper:
“…So are there any more interesting facts about these civilizations? Yes, there are many little bits and pieces of fun information that I haven’t yet told you. For example, did you know that China is the world’s longest-lived civilization? Sumer has actually built humungous temples layer-by-layer to form five-story monuments!”
An 8th grader writing about conservation in America for her History paper:
“Sometimes too much of a good thing turns out to be not such a good thing.” (GREAT HOOK!) “Because we Americans were so rich with so much land, we became very wasteful. We had so much land and resources that we thought we would never run out. America grew so rapidly. Thomas Jefferson though we had enough land to last us until the hundredth or thousandth generation. That was obviously not so. In 1980, when the US Census Bureau said that there was no more land, it came as a shock to the people of the United States.”
