November Book Club selection is Chains

I have been consumed with the Hunger Games trilogy after our great discussions about the book.  Now, it's time to start Chains.  I have been a fan of Laurie Halse Anderson's work for several years.  Chains is a historical fiction novel set during the American Revolution.  I will be very interested to hear what the 8th graders studying American History think of the Patriot/ Loyalist debate as it is presented in this novel.

Looking forward to hearing all of your thoughts about the novel.  It's not too late to join Book Club.  Please invite your friends to join our group.

Announcing Our NEW MHTV Crew!

Ms. Jones and I are so excited about our new MHTV Crews!  Crew lists were published and announced today and new positions will start next week, Monday, October 11th.  We can't wait to get to know all of our new members.  Kudos to our leadership team for all of their hard work and dedication during this first month of school.  We could not have done it without you!

MHTV is a daily news broadcast BY kids FOR kids.  That's right - we want our kids to learn the production skills, leadership skills and teamwork to become producers and technology leaders in charge of the show.  We also want our viewers involved.  That is why we have started a request line for music requests!  We hope you will take a minute to share a great song with us that we can play on the air!

Stay tuned to MHTV for more information about MHTV and ALL of the awesome programs we have at our school.
