CURRENT NEWS

**Dear Parents and Guardians:**

In social studies the 7th and 8th grade students will be covering the current issues areas of the grad standards. Each student has chosen their own current issue to focus on. Their research on the Internet will need to be done at home as we are in the middle of MAP testing in Schoolcraft's computer lab. Please ask your student what issue they have selected, give them your input and help them find appropriate websites for them to research. They are looking for facts, history and various points of view. They can either print their documents or take notes to bring in. They will also be doing a performance art piece as part of their project. Ask them about their ideas!

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions...Lisa
