In 8th grade language arts class the students finished thier first essay the "Choices Essay" and presented thier first presentation of the year. Each students presented a "Me Bag" speech which required them to bring in 6 objects that represented them. I always enjoy this assigment because it is a great way to get to know all of them a little better! Next week we will begin grammar and the wonderful world of nouns.
In reading class we began the short story unit and read "The Lady or the Tiger." After reading the students were asked to write an ending to the story. Next week we will read "Raymond's Run."
On Friday all the 8th graders will go on a field trip to Irons Oaks. At Irons Oaks each homebase will work together to solve physical activities. This is a great way for the students to get to know each other, work together and have an enjoyable day. Remember to dress appropriate for the weather and to bring a sack lunch and a drink.
