We hope everyone is staying warm out there....it is really cold! As we near winter break, we have noticed that student effort and attention to detail has decreased. Please help us to remind students that despite busy schedules and holiday happenings, students are still responsible for their assignments.
This week we are continuing to work on 8 sentence paragraph construction. Students have been introduced to the "Traffic Signal" paragraph format and practicing writing with this formula. Students will peer edit and revise the first draft of their paragraph and turn-in a final draft by the end of this week. Students will also be given a lesson on adverbs this week and will complete some practice color coding sheets, as well as, take an adverb quiz.
On Thursday and Friday, 8th grade students will begin working on group posters explaining specific aspects of colonial life in America. Seventh grade students will begin examining the 10 Theories on the fall of the Roman Empire. Both grades will have expository readings on these topics.
Both classes begin recitations on Monday, December 14th...Please remind students to practice!
