Projects: This week we will continue to learn about heredity and genes. Students are completing small assignments, watch clips and taking notes on this topic in order to complete a final project int he next couple of weeks.
7th Grade Reading: I am hoping to finish Two Miserable Presidents with the students this week. We have really enjoyed learning about the Civil War and all of the people, places and concepts related to it. Students will have a final reading exam on the book.....details TBA! Vocabulary quiz scheduled for this Thursday!
Writing: This week students will complete their rough drafts of argumentative essays. I will conference with students as they move into the editing/revising process and final drafts.
8th Grade Reading: We will start reading King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table this week to go with our study of the Middle Ages. Students will complete activities as they read. We will also touch on poetry and annotations again. I check reading logs daily. Many students are forgetting to bring them and fill them out. This is impacting their grade, as they receive a weekly reading log grade every week.
Homework this week:
7th Grade: Study for vocabulary quiz in science/read for 20/fill out logs
8th Grade: Read for 20 minutes, fill out log
Class Auction scheduled for November 17th (possibly the 23rd). We need items if you are able!
