8th Grade
The 8th Grade has started Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
We are starting chapter 4 on Friday.
Feel free to read along.
We welcome the conversation.
The 8th grade also started a religion project this week.
They are working in pairs and small groups to compose original prayers of contrition, adoration, supplication, and thanksgiving.
Groups will then choose their best prayer to perform for the class in an original and dazzling way.
Stay tuned to next week's blog where we will show case their performances!
Students also took practice tests for the high school entrance exams.
They have been working on test taking skills and practice exercises since last spring.
The high schools aren't going to know what hit them!
7th Grade
The 7th grade used Quizlet Live to prepare for their nouns test. The ending is worth your 52 seconds.
We promise.
We promise.
They also worked with a partner at different stations focusing on individual noun roles.

Genius!
The 7th graders started reading The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.
We should be at chapter 3 by the end of the week.
Feel free to read along.
No killing butterflies though!
7th grade has also started test preparation for high school entrance and placement tests. This week we worked on strategies for tackling analogies.
