We are back in full swing beginning Thursday, January 5 with narrative essays. The week of January 9, we will begin a unit in our Collections books that will focus on reading comprehension, grammar standards, AND argumentative essay writing. In addition to the classwork, students will also be receiving their novel explication project packets. This is a large project, but there is ample time alloted for the work to be completed. Students will have a list of novels to choose from and many of them can be found here in my classroom or in the Odyssey library. Report cards will come home on Monday, January 9. 8th grade tutoring will resume next week on Tuesdays from 4-5 PM |
