Communication Arts Weeks 1 & 2

During the first week in CA, students practiced classroom routines and procedures and got to know their classmates. They reviewed and used close reading strategies and practiced citing text evidence as well. Please return the Parent/Guardian Information Survey as soon as possible. This is a blue sheet and was handed out on the first day of school. 

In CA during the second week, students have STAR testing for reading on Wednesday. In addition to this they will explore our classroom library through a book pass activity and create a book wishlist using online resources.

Social Studies Culture Project

The 8th grade social studies class just started their Culture Project today. Students chose a country and began finding out background information for their selected country to fill in on their worksheet. They will then need to research several features of their country's culture to get an informed view of what their culture is like. As a culminating activity, students will be writing a comparison paper that describes their country's culture, American culture, and two similarities and two differences between the cultures. Rough drafts of the paper need to be completed for class on Thursday so we can peer edit them in class together. The tentative due date will be early the week of September 14th. I will update my website and this blog with the official due date once it is set.
