This year has gotten off to a great start! I am looking forward to another exciting year. In the past I have co-taught with Mrs. Boyer (formally Miss Lepley) in her reading and language arts class. Although I enjoyed working with her, all good things must come to an end and I am now have the priveledge to co-teachwith our new 8th grade teacher, Miss Cerney, who previously taught 4th grade and Prairieview.
In reading the students have begun reading short stories from the literature book. We have read "The Dinner Party" and "The Lady or the Tiger" and will read "Raymond's Run" next. We will continue the unit for the next couple of weeks then read our first novel of the year. The students also picked a book they are reading for their first book report. This book must be read by Tuesday, September 15.
In language arts, the students have already had a couple opportunities to shart thier work in class. First, they wrote a essay about an important choice that they had to make and this week, they are presenting their "Me Bag" speeches. This speech allows me, as well as the rest of the class, to learn more about each student. Before beginning our first essay, we are going do some work in grammar and focus on nouns.
Curriculum night is scheduled for Thursday, September 10 at 6:45. I am looking forward to seeing you there!
