Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to wish everyone, students and their families, a healthy and happy Thanksgiving! And...if you are participating in Black Friday shopping...good luck!

I am thankful to continue to be a part of this great school community of Bayshore Middle School and look forward to watching the students grow for the remainder of the year. The Second Marking Period will bring new opportunities and together, we will succeed!

Two Minute Warning for the First Marking Period

Hope everyone enjoyed the Fall Break!

Eighth graders returning to class will be participating in a Mock Congress simulation, where, as part of the Civics Unit Assessment PBL, students will be debating and lobbying votes for bills they researched and created. This assessment will serve as the capstone of the Civics Unit and, based on the "Student Voice and Choice Board," we will be studying the Judicial Branch as our bridge into the Reconstruction Unit for U.S. History II curriculum.

For the sixth graders, after our study of Samhaim,  will be returning to end the Ancient River Valley Civilizations Unit and present their Podcasting the Past PBL assessments. We will be moving swiftly towards studying ancient Greek history and how it applies to modern American government.

As a reminder for all, the First Marking Period ends November 18, 2015. Good luck as we move towards the end on the quarter and forward through the rest of our studies.
