Hello!
In English, the eighth graders continued the
unit on verbals. This week we
focused on infinitives. They will take a test on this chapter next Friday
(2/10). They also finished up a
writing unit on playwriting, where they were able to work with a partner and
create a play script. For literature, the eighth graders finished working on a
project about the book Things Not Seen.
They all did a very nice job!
In math with Mr. Trapp, the students are working
on a unit in geometry. In science, also with Mr. Trapp, they are continuing a
study of elements and the periodic table. They took a test on Tuesday. In social
studies with Mrs. Troxell,
the students are talking about World War II. They will took a test on Thursday.
The eighth graders continued learning about how
different types of music sound in music class with Mr. Trapp. In Spanish, the students
continued a chapter on vocabulary used in a school day. They can expect a test
in the next week or so. In art, we
began a new project that involves drawing. The students will be finding a picture of a cool looking
cupcake on the computer and then attempting to draw it. They will then use colored
pencils to
color the cupcake and we will mount the cupcakes on construction paper and hang
them in the halls (just in time for Grandparents’ Day J) In computers with Mrs. Troxell, the
eighth graders are working on improving their typing skills and creating
brochures. In PE, also with Mrs.
Troxell, they are beginning a unit on hockey.
