This week in our language arts and social studies block, both the 7th and the 8th grade class received a new recitation assignment. The 7th grade students should be working on memorizing Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening", while the 8th grade students should be practicing a quote by Roosevelt. Students are required to be ready to recite starting on December 14th.
*Our 7th grade students continued working on their Roman achievements projects. Our "B" block has finished and turned in their projects, and our "A" block will be turning in their projects on Monday, December 7th.
Using the Frost poem, the class began discussing some elements of poetry, such as stanzas, imagery, and iambic pentameter. We also began instruction on paragraph construction using the Step-up-to-Writing program.
*The 8th grade class finished the Mayflower Compact unit and took a quiz over it. They also worked on paraphrasing Roosevelt's quote and began instruction on paragraph construction using the Step-up-to-Writing program as well.
*Please encourage your student to read at home in order to meet their A.R. point requirement.
