A new year!!! 8th grade 2011/2012

Welcome to another year! This blog will provide "blurbs" regarding what we are doing in class each week (or at least most weeks) and significant dates for larger projects and tests. I will use the blog to give you enough information so that you and your student can have conversations regarding what they are learning (or at least being taught) in class. The first couple of weeks of class have been filled with much of the usual "schtuff" that the first weeks require....rules, procedures, text book check out, etc.... We have managed to complete a few things though.


They already turned in a Life Map with 6 paragraphs describing memorable/significant events in their lives.

We have choice books selected and are making progress with reading and journaling.

And finally, we are working our way through the first chapter of the Washington State History text.

So far, so good and thanks for checking in! :)
*** Look for work on a Music and Me essay and a quiz on chapter 1 WSH
