All reading classes have been given the directions for their book report that is due November 13th. Students should be just about finished reading their fiction books. Please check up on this. The book report is to be completed on a manila file folder that they have been given. If the students loose the folder they need to supply their own or purchase one for 25 cents.
8th Grade Conferences have been scheduled for Wednesday November 5th, Thursday November 6th, and Friday November 7th. Students were to relay to you your assigned time. It has also been written in their agenda. Phone conferences will take place on the 5th, 6th, and 7th in between in person conferences. Parents who wanted email conferences will be receiving an email from the team in the next two weeks.
In Grammar we are beginning chapter two. Students were assessed on chapter one last week and did very well. If your son/daughter scored below a 76% they have the opportunity to retake their assessment. They need to make corrections on the original test and then they can retake the test in workroom.

Updates for Week of Oct. 6 - 10
Writing...Student should just be about finished with the rough draft of their short stories. We will begin peer editing on Wednesday and if they have not completed the draft, they cannot participate in peer edit and will be asked to stay in for workroom.
In grammar we will be finishing Chapter 1 this week...which means only one thing. Test time. The test for Chapter 1 has not been scheduled, but will probably be the week of October 13. We will definitely find time to review prior to the test. The students will also enjoy playing a game of Grammar Jeopardy just before the test.
All Reading Classes will be getting information on the first book report of the school year this week. Students will be asked to find a fiction book, on their level, and bring it to class by Oct. 13th. Directions for the actual project will be distributed later. The project will count as a reading comprehension grade and a vocabulary grade.
8A Reading had a quiz on Friday 10/3 and will be getting test slips early this week. Parents keep an eye out for these as they are a responsibility grade.
8B and 8C Reading...your next assessment will be on Wednesday 10/8/08 for Stop the Sun.
Reminders...please keep a copy of the school handbook nearby as I have written a few referrals this week. Parents referrals must be signed the night they are sent home and returned the following. This is for any level offense. Students who fail to return them will receive an additional referral. :(
