I cannot believe that we have been in school for over six weeks. Time is really moving fast this year. Your support helps me to ensure student success. I am appreciative of all the emails and communication that has occurred. Please, continue to ask questions, send comments or concerns, and keep the lines of communication open.
We have an online textbook for the literature book we use in class. Students will utilize this tool throughout the year.
Seventh Grade
We have continued our study of figurative language, annotation, and summarizing. This week, students read the short story “Amigo Brothers”. They completed summaries, say something, and searching for a variety of figurative language used in the story. Students have created a presentation in Google Drive to keep track of their English vocabulary.
Eighth Grade
We continued adding to our English vocabulary presentation we created in Google Drive. We examined how to make “super sentences” in order to improve our writing. We started out figurative language video project. I am so excited to see how amazing they will turn out. The students read the short story “The Bet” to continue the practice of annotation and summarizing.
