CRIME SCENE IN THE AUDITORIUM!
Our 7th grade ELA detectives are on the case! Before diving into Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart, students stepped into a chilling crime scene to gather clues, analyze evidence, and build theories. This immersive pre-reading activity sets the stage for deep literary exploration and critical thinking.
Skills in Action:

Inferencing: Drawing conclusions from textual and visual clues
Citing Textual Evidence: Supporting claims with specific details
Analyzing Character Motivation: Understanding psychological complexity
Collaborative Problem Solving: Working in teams to build theories
Close Reading: Interpreting symbolic and thematic elements
Argumentative Thinking: Forming and defending a claim
Engagement & Empathy: Stepping into the mind of a narrator.

A special FBMS thank you to Officer's Passante and Smith for guiding the team through an investigative process and explaining how good ELA skills transfer to all careers.

One pager about our principal, Dr. Anna Crawford.
The 7th grade ELA department hosted a grade level in-house field trip with guest speaker's from the Gullah Geechee nation. Ms. Waas submitted a grant to the Nassau Education Foundation titled "Exploring Languages and Cultures," which they graciously awarded. Glenda Simmons-Jenkins and Anastatia Ketchen engaged our students with their language, stories, dance and culture. Students participated in several small workshops that included: a walk to the Greenway with speakers from the St. John's River Water Keepers, crafts with recyclable materials, creating an ABC book with Gullah words, and a snack of cheese grits and flavored popcorn. A wonderful, culturally rich day was had by all.
