We have had a fantastic first week of school in 9-A! In order to get to know each other better, each girl brought in something she was proud of to share. Here are some pictures of that activity. There are a few more pictures from today that I will post early next week.
Welcome to a new year! We are going to have lots of fun in 9-A. On the first day of school each girl will get an accordion folder to help her organize her papers. It will go home each night and come back to school each morning. The girls should work on labeling their accordion folders at home this week. Here is a picture of what the labels should look like:
What a great year it's been! We've learned about Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, traveled to the Walters Art Museum, enjoyed a Taylor Swift podcast, performed Olivia Saves the Circus, completed a Biome report and presentation, celebrated birthdays, and played Crow vs. Canary games. We have grown so much this year, and we worked hard but had fun, too! Now it's time to kick back, relax, and enjoy the summer!
The Ninth Age enjoyed a field trip to Medieval Times on Friday. We ate with our hands and watched jousting while learning about the Middle Ages. What a great way to experience the things we are learning about in history!
Last week we held a friendly competition during composition. The girls each chose a food that they thought they could write descriptively about. Mrs. Bennett and I chose the most descriptive essay from each class and brought in a taste of the foods being described for everyone. Here is a picture of the winners!
Yesterday 9-A and 9-B participated in the Annual Ninth Age Egg Drop. The girls packed shoeboxes with materials found around the house that they thought would be good protection for an egg. Then they dropped the boxes from the balcony in the girls' gym. Everyone with a surviving egg got to do a second drop. That time they either had to throw their box over the balcony or slam in down from the balcony. The girls will write about the experience in composition class this week.
A group of Seventh and Eighth Agers come to 9-A after school on Wednesdays for Sewing Club. First we made fringed fleece Ravens scarves and now they are making pink poodle pillows. We have lots of fun!
