Mrs. Bousquet - 8th Grade

We are currently in the new and exciting world of verbals in eighth grade English class.   Gerunds, participles, and infinitives are the focus of the next several weeks.  In addition, in creative writing, we are composing various types of poems that will be showcased at the upcoming Education Fair.

During seventh grade English classes, we are studying prepositions and prepositional phrases.   Our last writing assignments were cinquains (poems) about delicious desserts. 

     Finally, we have begun reading our novel, Johnny Tremain.   Based on life in Revolutionary War Boston, it is a wonderful fit to our May field trip.

This is a wonderful opportunity for cross-curricular studies.

Enjoy the February vacation and remember to take time to read.  Good writing depends on an extensive vocabulary and lots of reading.

Mrs. Pray - 8th Grade

It sure is cold outside, but inside we’ve been moving right along.  In fact, we’ve already begun the 3rd quarter of school!

In 7th grade, we’ve begun our book entitled:  From Bacteria to Plants.  We’ve also wasted no time at all in getting to know a little bit about our subject matter, as our bacterial cultures are growing and growing and GROWING. 

In 8th grade, we’re close to finishing up our studies of Chemistry, but not before we finish up our 3D models of the elements.  Some of them are looking really great!  Keep up the good work!  Once we finish up the “Carbon Chemistry” chapter, we, too, will be getting into our next course of study:  Forces and Motion. 

Happy 2010, Students!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Pray

Everday Science Class
