Today the 8th grade spent the majority of the block listening to Mr. Finkel, a holocaust survivor and author, share his story. After that, we had a very short English period, during which students were given time to work on one of the following long term assignments:
- Grammar Review/Handouts
- Final Book Thief Essay Edits
- Science Fiction Book Group Reading
- Science Fiction Writing
Tomorrow you will not be in English or social studies, as it is Civil War Day for the 7th graders, but don't forget to join me for one of the grammar review sessions before the test on Thursday! The review sessions will be at 8am on Thursday, as well as during all lunch periods. If you plan to attend one of the lunch study sessions and want to have pizza during the study session, please bring $5 before Thursday at 8:30am.
Homework due tomorrow:
