Paragraph presentations are now going to be on Tuesday, as opposed to Monday.  We will take one more class period to work on them and get them right.  I am almost done conferencing, and paragraphs are looking good.  Presentations should be in first person, and students should practice, practice, practice over the weekend.

In reading, 7th and 8th graders are reading passages that have to do with Antebellum issues. Together, we are working on identifying cause and effect, as well as being able to summarize passages.  Students are also working on poetry at least one day a week.

In writing, students continue to work on their narratives.

Parents, please remember to send in your box tops if you have them.  They will be collected on September 29th.
