Projects:
We are continuing with our unit on space, which includes the studies of moon phases and gravity. We will continue this for another week before heading into social studies and the Great Depression.
8th Grade Reading:
Students are working on their final exam, which is an ongoing assignment while we read the novel. Students should be collecting evidence for the theme they have chosen for the book. The final is worth a lot, and students should make sure they are organizing their thoughts. We are loving this book!
7th Grade Reading:
The Maze Runner is such a fun book to read with my 7th graders! This week we will do a novel chart in groups and focus on humor, fear, figurative language, and important quotes in the book.
Writing:
SBAC is right around the corner and we are working HARD on writing prompts that will improve our skills and overall performance. Students need to make sure they know what a thesis statement is and how to work on it throughout their essays. This week, they are writing about the benefits of recess on teachers and students, and using sources to use evidence to back up their points.
**Math night is this Thursday night at 6:00.
