Short story final drafts were due today, Tuesday Nov. 10. Twenty-two 8th graders did not turn in their story on time. They will loose citizenship points each day it is late and will eventually earn a referral for "failure to complete work in a timely manner". Please check with your son or daughter and make sure they have turned in their story.
If students need to retest their Chapter 1 grammar test, they must do that this week on Thursday or Friday in workroom. Please ask your son/daughter how they did on their Chapter 1 grammar test.
Grammar Chapter 2 quiz on lessons 1-3 will be on Monday, November 16th.
Reading 8A...has a quiz on "Two were Left" on Friday, November 13th. The vocabulary words from this story are difficult to spell and define. Please practice them at home. Word List: essential, fashioned, suspiciously, ominously, descended, steeled, incredulously, crudely, wedged, and awkward.
Reading 8B and 8C...has their quiz on Tuesday, November 17th on "Mother in Mannville". Please practice the vocabulary words at home. I am noticing many vocabulary words that are not spelled correctly on the test. Word List: abstracted, blunt, clarity, communion, ecstasy, impel, inadequate, instinctive, kindling, and predicated.
Advisement groups...don't forget your canned food for the food drive competition for the food bank. The winning advisement group will get an ice cream cake reward.
High School Night is this Thursday night, November 12th. Students and parents are welcomed to come to the cafeteria between 5:30 and 7:30 to gather information on various local high schools. Hope to see you there...
