Projects:
Students continue to work on their globes. They are drawing land masses, lines of latitude and longitude, and labeling everything. We will use these to show weather related concepts. Students also took a vocabulary quiz over 8 of our terms.
8th Grade Reading:
Today we started chapter 1 of To Kill a Mockingbird. We will actually spend a bit of time on this chapter, as there are many references we need to work through to build our background knowledge.
7th Grade Reading:
We read to chapter 5 in The Maze Runner. This is an excellent, very exciting book already. We are all intrigued.
Writing:
Continuing with our argumentative essays....These are slow going. Students are trying to grasp using evidence-based terms and quotes from text to support their arguments. We will get there. I have strong writers and we do a lot of discussion, which helps.
**Please see your email for the permission slip for February's dance. We will need one from every student who attends.
Happy Thursday!
