8th grade students enrolled in Spanish 1 were asked to respond to the question '¿De dónde eres?' (Where are you from?) after listening to their teacher read aloud the book ¿De dónde eres? by Yamile Saied Méndez. In this book, a young girl is asked this question by her classmates, but with the additional comment of 'but really.' The girl, confused, asks her grandfather where she is from. He answers her by describing the geography, people, animals, feelings, and histories of the various places her family comes from. Students were asked to do the same; to choose one element that best describes , for them, where they are from, and to describe that in Spanish words and with a visual.

Maine State Representative Michele Meyer Visits Mr. Rowe's Seventh-Grade Social Studies
Class
On Friday, March 31, Maine State Representative Michele Meyer visited Mr. Rowe's seventh-grade social studies class. Connor O'Brien, a student in class, is working on a bill to make Maine's cars safer on the roads and for the environment, and he wanted to know more about the process so the class invited Representative Meyer to meet with the class. In a meeting that covered many topics, Representative Meyer told the students about the types of bills she looks for, how she decides whether or not to support a bill, exactly how busy her schedule is, what her committee work looks like, and many, many more topics, including how Connor should continue his work. The students were so appreciative of Michele Meyer's time, it was a great day!
