For two weeks, 7th grade ELA classes hosted Lindsay Bauer, Executive Director of the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center, as their Artist in Residence. Lindsay led students through the Page to Stage Workshop process, breaking down novels and books of their choice. Students analyzed the pieces for story arcs and character development. Each student worked on writing their own play, learning how to take printed text and turn it into live action. Each class had three scripts selected, then students worked together to produce those scripts. With the normal Iowa weather challenges, this gave students roughly 2 1/2 days to write and 2 1/2 days to produce their short plays. The adventure culminated in the World Premiere of their works on the big stage at the Arts and Convention Center on Wednesday, February 26.
Big thanks to Mrs. Edlin for providing this meaningful narrative writing opportunity to our students!

Good evening FMS families!
You should have received a few emails about conferences by now. We wanted to send one last reminder before Monday:
5th graders only need to sign up with their homeroom teacher.
6th-8th graders should sign up with the teacher who emailed you this week.
Please be sure to sign up for a conference to see your child's leadership portfolio. If you aren't sure who to sign up with, feel free to let me know and we can look for you!
If you also have a 6th-8th grader and need to meet with other teachers, you are welcome to sign up for those conferences at this time.
To sign up for conferences, go to this site: https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/Fairfield_Middle_School_3
As always, please let us know what questions you have! You can call us at (641) 472-5019 or you can email me at carly.marten@fairfieldsfuture.org. We are looking forward to seeing you on March 3!
