Hello all! Reminder: The permission slips for our 8A trip are due by Monday.

Here are your class updates:

Science: Today we worked on our RAFT (Love Letter) from Friday and used essential vocabulary which can be found here. I passed out the study guides and we are working on them tomorrow and finishing up the RAFT. Thursday the study guides are due before the bell and we will review for the test on Friday. No homework (because we will be working on it tomorrow in class).

Social Studies: Today the students took a pre-test for the new unit that they will be starting. After the pre-test the students made a foldable for their vocabulary that they will be doing throughout the unit. They were also given a study guide for chapter nine.

Language arts: 3-5 periods we went over context and read "The Test" by Angelica Gibbs. Students wrote a 3 paragraph essay in which they changed the context to take place in 2014 and alter the story accordingly. 8th period needed to do this on their own as Mr. Whitt was in the computer lab in the afternoon due to the writing assessment. 7th period will due this assignment tomorrow. It is due tomorrow for all classes except 7th period.

Reading:  We are reading stories by Ray Bradbury this week.  We will have no vocabulary test but we will do an AR Writing this Friday.  All students must be certain to complete their second AR Test before the end of the grading period.
