First Class

We just finished reading a novel called The Islander by Cynthia Rylant. We are working on Fact and opinion out of the novel. The students took an AR test over this novel. They took a comprehension test 2-9-04 over The Islander. We are working on comprehension sheets throughout the rest of the year to help them prepare for the State Reading Test in the future. Along with the comprehension sheets we are reviewing different skills such as prefixes, suffixes, context clues, main ideas, point of view, supporting details and sequencing just to name a few. We have AR reading every Friday, and students set AR goals each nine weeks.

The 8^th graders are getting ready to start the State Writing Test. They begin testing on February 10th, 2004. We have been working really hard the past two months in preparation for this test. Students will get two weeks to complete this test. I am reminding them to get plenty of rest and to eat a good breakfast each morning. Last but not least, I am telling them to come to class with a good attitude!!

During this period students read. They read AR books every Tuesday and Thursday. Every Monday they read a magazine. On Tuesday they are allowed a free day of reading, which means anything they want to read. Every other Friday we play Newspaper Bingo. Once a week students are required to turn in an article summary. They will also be accountable for two AR tests by the end of the 3^rd nine weeks.

Eighth Class

At this time students are reviewing how to write a resume. They are in the process of typing their own personal resume. They turned out really well. Students are also going through the process of interview questions. We have been practicing them and working on answering them in groups for practice. We are discussing different kinds of interview questions and what are “good” questions and what are “bad” questions. Mrs. Rodgers our school nurse will be visiting with us on February 13^th about the career of Nursing.
