8A/English

Just a few notes before we break for our much anticipated Spring Vacation.

Gr. 6 We are beginning expository writing this week. Together we are reading and taking notes on the Crusades, which will be covered also in Social Studies. We will be putting together a 5 paragraph essay. The final, typed copy is due the Tuesday after break.

Gr. 7 Monday we are having the test on complements. I have not seen much of the 7th grade due to testing and the long weekend, so this test has been a long time in the coming and the reviewing. We are also continuing persuasive writing.

Gr. 8 There will be a test on the phrases chapter Thurs. Also, we will be discussing personal narrative writing and working on a memory of grammar school. The final copy is due Friday.

Another call for team pictures. I still need Gr. 6 Girls BB A, B1, B2. Boys BB A, A2, B, B2.

Gr. 7 Girls VB B1, Boys BB B2

May you all enjoy a fun, relaxing, and safe holiday.
