Week of April 28th

Congrats to all 8th graders for completing their LAST CRCT!!!  I know you all did a great job :)

Here is what is happening for the remainder of the week:

8th Grade Language Arts:

We will begin our study of Drama through the play, The Diary of Anne Frank.  I hope that our study of this play will be a memorable end to our year!

7th Grade Language Arts:

We will look at a few short stories before we begin our Drama Unit.  Get ready to discuss out of hand rumor mills :)

7th Grade Social Studies:

Wow...we have studied so much so far! We have a bit more to go :) Get ready to dive into the cultural aspects of Southeast Asia!

Teaching Experts

7th AND 8th Grade Language Arts

Georgia Performance Standards ELA8C1 and ELA7C1 state:

The student will demonstrate understanding and control of the Rules of Standard English Language.

Since we have mastered these skills, our students are ready to teach it!!!  8th and 7th Grade students will develop lesson plans on the most missed convention questions from our OAS benchmark tests.  The topics range from pronouns to sentence structure (with everything in between)!!!  Students will take over the teaching responsibilities on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  So far...everyone is doing an EXCELLENT job!!!  I believe we have some future teachers of the year among our student body :)

Enjoy Your Break!

We have been so busy preparing for the CRCT!  I truly believe that ALL of our students can exceed our high expectations for them!!

When we return, I will have an individualized preparation plan for each student!  We will review our progress through the Georgia Online Assessment System to learn what we need to work on individually!  I hope this process helps everyone prepare for the CRCT.

Have a GREAT Spring Break!
