Upcoming events:
Miracle Worker Performances will be October 15 and 16 at 1:15 PM in the auditorium. Some students will be performing both days, and some will be performing on one of the days--depending on which scene they are in. We are performing 5 scenes from The Miracle Worker. We will be inviting grades 3 and up to attend. Parents are also invited to attend.
To Kill a Mockingbird-Our next class novel will be To Kill a Mockingbird. In an effort to best prepare for high school we will be learning a skill called annotating. This works best if each student has his/her own copy of the book that he/she can write in. They may also choose to use 4 colors of highlighters. You may wish to purchase this book soon, as they will need it by Monday, Oct. 17. If students do not bring their own copies, they will borrow one from the school library. However, they will have to write on post-it notes instead of writing in the book, since it is not their own copy. I think they will find it beneficial to have their own copy to mark in and take notes. They are not allowed to use a copy of the book that was previously used (last year) by one of my students. They will need a CLEAN copy that has not already been marked. I will check for this on Oct. 17. Annotating is a skill that they will definitely need in high school. While it is challenging, it is worth our time and effort to work on this in 8th grade.
