3rd Quarter February 13th - April 20th

I hope this quarter begins with renewed energy and determination!  The next nine weeks will include some of our most intense work on reading and writing skills. 

6th graders will begin with a biography unit

7th graders will write their second expository essay and then a persuasive essay

8th graders will begin research skills needed for high school.

All classes continue with vocabulary and reading logs.

This is a busy quarter because of district testing, science fair projects and high school transitions and registration.  Be Prepared!!
