The summer reading list is ready and accessible online. Reading is a win/win proposition. Reading shapes our world view, produces higher scores on standardized tests, makes us more interesting people and enables us to better share and explore ideas. This year in an effort to enhance our students' vocabulary and reading skills, we are incorporating some non-fiction selections. Studies have shown that reading non-fiction helps build vocabulary and boost comprehension. Students will select a novel from the grade they are entering in September.

Today, June 10, 2010, our seventh and eighth grade classes watched a live play titled "In Between" presented by the local New Brunswick theater group George Street Playhouse. The plot involved dealing with being the new student at school and finding yourself "in between" a nice, but somewhat strange, student and the cool, popular student who turns out to be bullying him. The play helped us all learn about more about how to deal with bullying and tips for handling conflict.

On Wednesday, May 5th, Ms. Warren's Junior class took a field trip to the Castle Shakespeare Repertory Theatre to see their performance of Romeo and Juliet in Budd Lake, New Jersey. The Junior class is currently reading Shakespeare's Othello and focusing on Literary Criticism. The class utilized the performance of Romeo and Juliet to become yet more familiar with Shakespeare's language and central themes of his performance-based text. Since Shakespeare's work was never meant to be read, only meant to be heard and seen as performance art, the students were exposed to a unique adaptation of the text as it was meant to be received. Focusing on historical criticism, the students had a unique lens of observing the plot from an angle not learned before. Very pleasingly, the students did see the difference in ways a play could be read and criticized. They are even more ready to perform a literary critique of Othello.

On Monday, April 26th, the entire seventh grade participated in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: NJASK. The game show consisted of math and language arts questions.
