East Clarendon Middle & High School

📣 A Week Ahead in Sports! 🏆

Come out and support our student-athletes this season! Your energy, encouragement, and school spirit make a difference. Let’s pack the stands, cheer them on, and show our athletes how proud we are of their hard work and dedication.

We’ll see you at the games! 💙

📚 **Reviewing & Preparing for Success!** 📚 Mrs. Underwood’s 6th and 7th grade students worked through stations today as they reviewed key concepts and prepared for their **Topic 1 test!** 📝✨

📚 **Building the Story!** 📚 Mrs. Ashley Coker’s English 2 Honors students are collaborating to create a dramatic structure known as **Freytag’s Pyramid** as they map out the key elements of a short story. Students are working together to identify the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution while strengthening their understanding of how a story comes together. 📖✨ We love seeing our students collaborate, think critically, and bring literature to life! ❤️📚

🔬 **Science Writing in Action!** 🧪📝 Today in Mrs. Hannah Wilder’s class, students are using an article to gather evidence and support the claim, **“Yeast is a living organism.”** Students are practicing how to use information from a text to build and support scientific claims in their daily science writing! We love seeing our students use evidence, think critically, and strengthen their scientific reasoning! 🌱🔬📚

📚 **Learning Through Stations in English 3!** 📝 Today in Mrs. Brianna Coker’s English 3 class, students explored the **Salem Witch Trials and Arthur Miller** through interactive learning stations! Each station provided different information about the author, the time period, and the real-life connections between the Salem Witch Trials and **McCarthyism**. Students will begin reading *The Crucible* by Arthur Miller this week, and these activities were the perfect way to introduce the text and provide important historical context! 📖✨ We can’t wait to see what connections our students make as they dive into this powerful story! 🍎📚

📢 **GAME DAY UPDATE!** 🏈 Due to pending weather conditions, **Friday’s game has been moved to tomorrow, Thursday, August 27, at 7:30 PM at LMA.** We’ll see you tomorrow night! 🏈💪🏼
