The Week of Heat!!

This was the week of heat in school. Today- Wednesday we even were released from school early. This did not effect any of my classes as all were in session in the first three blocks. By third block the seniors were the ones who really seemed to feel the heat in the room. We toughed it out this week, but we are hoping for a cooler week after the Labor Day weekend.

8th grade has been working on Nouns and have started studying the first unit in the literature. Concepts we have worked on include elements of plot and irony.

10th grade had their first speech this week on the Ten Items about Me. They are preparing two speeches for next week Personal Experience and the Demonstration. These are always fun speeches to listen to.

12th grade finished up Beowulf and are ready to begin Hamlet next week. They almost have the first essay wound up and are finalizing their resumes.

I hope everyone has a great final hurrah for summer. See you after Labor Day!

The first days of school

We are back in the swing of things again. 8th grade has been working in the Scholastic Scope magazine this week. 10th grade had their first introductory speech and are planning for their 10 items about me speech which is due on Monday.  Seniors are beginning reading Beowulf, working on resumes, and writing a personal reflection.

New School Year 2012!!

Welcome back to school at Webster Area Middle School and High School. We are excited to be returning for another school year. I'm looking forward to trying a second year of the four day school week. I hope that we have many fun activities this year. See you August 20th!! Mrs. W.
