What's happening in class?

Happy Halloween!

The week of October 31st through November 4th will be another busy one!

In L.A., students will be turning in their 2nd essay of the year, their character sketches!  They've worked hard on creating and revising these essays, and I'm looking forward to reading them!

Monday through Friday, we will be focusing on NOUNS.  Students will be reviewing, learning about, and practicing the use of proper, common, abstract, concrete, singular, plural, collective and possessive nouns.  On Friday, students will be creating a story using a picture prompt, which will test their knowledge of this very important part of speech.

In reading, students will continue reading the novel, Girls, Drums and Dangerous Pie.  Steven is currently dealing with the knowledge of his brother's Leukemia, while still trying to navigate 8th grade and all that encompasses it.  Chapters 11-14 will be read and discussed this week.

Here's to a good week!
