There is a lot going on this week as students prepare for the World Affairs Challenge at DU this Saturday April 12th.  The bus will leave from Stargate at 6:45 on Saturday to get to D.U. on time.  All groups should have a final performance in front of Ms. Posateri this week.  Some groups are coming in on Friday 4/11 to polish their formal presentations. 

In additon, the students are studying World War II and the Holocaust and this week have the honor of meeting a Holocaust survivor Jack Adler.  Mr. Adler will meet with the 7/8 students and answer questions they have about the Holocaust.  For more information on Jack you can go to www.jackadler.com. 

4/7 Monday and 4/8 Tuesday - The students will continue working on their "Holocaust Journals" to prepare for Jack's visit on Wednesday.  Part of the journal will be a reflection on the documentary "Paper Clips."  This documentary follows a Middle School in Tennessee as they learn about the Holocaust.  This documentary is rated "G" and is age appropriate therefore no permission slip is necessary.  For more information about this documentary you can go to  http://www.paperclipsmovie.com.

4/9 Wednesday- Jack Adler Guest Speaker

4/10 Thursday- Ms. Krill and Ms. Posateri will be combining classrooms as students write a thank you letter to Jack Adler.  We will spend a portion of class debriefing what students took away from the day before. 

4/11 Friday - No Students / Teacher Work Day (Parents, if your son/daughter is on a WAC team that is coming in to practice on Friday they will be supervised.  Please email me if you have any questions or concerns.)

Thanks to all the parents of WAC students who are helping support this event!  We will take lots of pictures of the students to share with you!  We all wish you good luck!

Have a good week, Ms. Posateri
