JK Rowling Live Webcast

Students from team 6 Green participated in a live web cast with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.  She answered questions and read from one of her books. The web cast was live from Edinburgh, Scotland, but was not interactive. It was a 45 minute interview with J.K. Rowling where she discussed the world of Harry Potter and Pottermore.  This was the first time she has done a live webcast into schools.  This was arranged through Scholastic books.

Scholastic has archived the event on their New Harry Potter Reading Club website - http://hpread.scholastic.com/

 

Join the reading club, see activities for your classroom, or have fun yourself.  The webcast is about 50 minutes long, but you can use the slide bar to view as little or as much as you wish. 

German Club

German Club, which is available to all 7th and 8th grade German students held its first meeting on September 25th.  The members played soccer for about five minutes when their soccer ball exploded.  Thanks to Mr. Baumgartner for supplying the club with a ball from the P.E. department so they could continue playing.  They also enjoyed a German Flag Cake and a worked on designing a T-shirt which will be voted on at their next meeting.
                            

 The next German club meeting is in October.  Pretzels and German soda will be provided.  Club memebers will work on a German flag art project, vote for the winner of the T-shirt design contest and plan the German games that will be played at the November meeting.
