BOOKS!

It's that time again!  I am placing the Scholastic Book order TOMORROW!   Click the link on my website which will take you straight to the Scholastic site where you can order all kinds of books for discounted prices.  (By the way, I already have several orders, and if our class order is $100 or more, then every student in the class gets a free book!)
Thanks!

Busy, busy, busy!

The first quarter is almost over!  The students have been working really hard, learning a ton, and maintaining wonderful attitudes along the way.  I so enjoy these kids.

Here is what we have been up to...

7th English: We're in the middle of reading The Hobbit by JRR Tolkein.  The students seem very excited about their upcoming Hobbit Projects.  Vocabulary and grammar lessons are also in effect. 

8th English: Along with writing, grammar, and vocab, we're about to start The Hiding Place, an incredible novel by Corrie Ten Boom.  We will also be reviewing other works of literature from The Holocaust.  Additionally, this material will coincide with their upcoming trip to DC where they will experience The Holocaust Museum.

7th Bible: We're in Unit 3, learning about the books of wisdom in God's Word.  The students were captivated as we discovered more about God's character and how we can trust our all-knowing Father through the Book of Job.  In addition to Job, we will be learning about Proverbs and Ecclesiastes during this unit.

8th Bible: Moving on to Unit 3, we will be discussing spiritual disciplines such as worship, prayer, service, reading the Word, fellowship, evangelism, giving, silence, and meditation.  I will be in prayer that this will be a special time of growth in our walks with Jesus as we learn more about how we are called into action by our Maker.  

OOPS!

I have just been alerted to the fact that my comments and corrections were not saved in turnitin.com.  I apologize for this inconvenience as all grading for the recent papers was completed through this site. I recorded the grades earned for each paper (at least this is not lost), and I will re-do all my comments on each paper so that each student can see what he/she did incorrectly.  Thank you for your patience!
