We haven't let the fluctuating weather deter us from running. This Tuesday Tigers broke their previous 3.25 miles (in 40 minutes)...some Tigers ran over 4 miles in just 40 minutes. Great job!

We will continue to run as the weather gets chillier. Please remember to come prepared for the weather -- gloves/mittens, hat, warm socks, pants, sweatshirt, and a water bottle (yes, you can get dehydrated in cold weather)!

We WILL run on Tuesday, November 24th before break. Looking forward to our last run before the holidays!

The CMIT Chapter of National Junior Honor Society have just completed an overwhelmingly successful food drive, and is now planning its first annual Warm Blanket/Soft Socks Drive in partnership with the CMIT Running Club. A beautifully decorated box will be placed in all middle school classrooms on Monday, November 30, 2015. Please donate generously as the Shephard's Cove Emergency Shelter for Women and Children are in great need of these items. The drive will begin December 1, 2015 and run through December 17, 2015. Thanks in advance for your support!

Parents,

We will be holding a Parent Interest Meeting regarding our overnight college visit to New York. The meeting will be held in the Cafeteria on the evening of Monday, November 30 from 6:00-7:00pm. This meeting will provide you with information about the colleges we will visit, dates and expected cost of the trip, and tentative agenda.

Mrs. Justsen and Ms. Chestang, 8th grade Chairs

The 8th grade team would like to recognize two students who are consistently focused and determined to learn. Their actions and decisions set positive examples for their peers, and they do not let anything distract them from their goals.

Congratulations to Taylor Wright and Jeremy Mejia!

Physics students have completed the projectile motion test this past Wednesday. Any students who were absent will need to make-up the exam before the break.

Environmental Science students will take a Biomes test on Monday before the break.

Medical Science will begin a new body system this week - the Excretory System - and continue after the break.

Biology students are learning about macromolecules and their uses in the body; e.g., fats, carbs, proteins, and nucleic acids - a fitting unit for this time of year!

Hi everyone,

With the Thanksgiving holiday break coming up, Tuesday's Biology HSA tutoring after school from 3 to 4 pm is canceled. We will resume Dec. 1.

Have a wonderful holiday!

Hola Todos,

We're almost done with the literature unit for the quarter! There are a few more assignments that we will cover before the final exam.

Students will have to depict a drawing from one of the four chapters that we've read along with a quote from the story that matches the drawing; it will count as an assessment grade. You will also have a final paper which you will have to write (yes, in English) 1-2 page paper comparing and contrasting the two main characters; more information will be given in Spanish class.
We will also watch a movie about Don Quijote before have the final exam over the unit. The final exam will be given after Thanksgiving Break.

Remember students are allowed to use the reading and notes on the final exam, so please make sure that you've kept up with your notes for all 4 chapters that we've read.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

Muchas Gracias,

Stacie Young

Dear Students and Parent,

For the next several weeks students will be working with collage and printmaking. Any donations of newspaper, magazines or cardboard would be much appreciated. Students have been researching controversial issues to ultimately create a poster through printmaking.

The High School faculty would like to recognize Kayla Middleton as the Outstanding High School Student of the Week. Kayla presented a 'pep' talk to this year's 9th grade class about appropriate behavior and study habits and also earned a perfect score on her Physics test - even more notable as Kayla matriculated to the class a month behind the other students.

Congratulations Kayla! We think appreciate you and your outstanding efforts!

This past week, students in Loyola, George Washington, and UMBC received their IXL login information and began practicing a multitude of different concepts! It is a phenomenal resource for practice at home so please encourage your student to do so. Next week and after Thanksgiving break, we will be diving into Ratios, Rates, and Unit Rates. I look forward to another successful week and I hope everyone has a wonderful break!

Ms. Walde
Math 6 (UMBC, Loyola, George Washington)

Greetings!
After Thanksgiving break students will be starting our first in class novel, "The Giver", by Lois Lawry. All students will need a copy of the book that they can read in class to be prepared and participate. Students may bring a paper copy, or access the eBook through the Kindle App on the Chromebooks. If you choose to purchase the eBook through Amazon, they will need your Amazon account log in and password to access the App. Alternately, students may upload a PDF to their Google Drive, which they can also access via the Chromebooks.

Mr. McSparron's Dungeons and Dragons club is going strong. Due to a high amount of student interest, the club has been split into two groups, meeting on Tuesday and Friday respectively. The feedback from the students has been overwhelming positive, and it has been a real joy running the club each week as the students learn to work together and think creatively to overcome problems and challenges. I look forward to a great rest of the year for the club.

Mr. McSparron

We have been reading and discussing novels non-stop this week! It has been busy, busy, busy!

USNA and Dartmouth are about halfway through The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer. Students should have read through Chapter 18 by Monday, November 23 (and should have read through the end of Chapter 22 by Monday, November 30th). This is a long book, but the students who are truly reading are enjoying the complexities of the text and the ethical/emotional issues related to cloning. Please check the reading calendar on Edmodo to ensure your child is keeping up with the reading. Activities in class are related to the chapters they should have read, so in order to participate fully everyone needs to meet the minimum reading requirements each week! We have started collaborating with Ms. Cracovaner, and students have worked in small groups to start designing a Utopian society. This week we specifically worked on writing a Declaration of Independence -- ask your student to see his/hers! Some of them are very formal and thoughtful, and they have applied the concepts they have learned in Social Studies to construct purposeful documents!

CalTech and UPenn finished 145th Street by Walter Dean Myers this week. We discussed important topics in each chapter, and we will be writing/producing skits and Public Service Announcements in the upcoming weeks. After we have finished recording these, we will begin a short unit on poetry. If there is "extra time" (I know, none of us seem to have this) over the holiday or if your student wants to get ahead, he/she is welcome to begin looking at poetry (of any kind) and sharing it with his/her peers via Google Classroom to promote discussion. ...think about sharing your favorite poem with your student, and see if he/she can figure out what makes the poem special to you!

We are all looking forward to Thanksgiving break! Please continue to check Edmodo for assignments and reminders. We are busy but staying on track...we just have to stay organized!

Greetings CMIT Family,

The high school National Honor Society is sponsoring an outerwear drive for the upcoming winter. Outerwear includes coats, hats, scarves, gloves, shoes/boots, earmuffs, etc. All clothing donations will go to Goodwill. So far, we only have one donation! If you have any new or gently used outerwear that you would like to get out of your home, please send it in with your child and have them drop it off in Mr. Krystal's classroom, room 170. Thank you!

Ben Krystal

On Tuesday, November 24th, we will recognize students who have made the honor roll in an assembly during 7th and 8th periods. Students receiving honor were notified last week. Parents are welcome to attend, although space may be limited. Congratulations to all awardees for a successful first quarter!
