6^th Grade English

We are working very hard on the research paper.  Some of the due dates are:  sources (March 9), bibliography cards (March 10), thesis statement (March 11), typed outline (March 23).  Typing the outline is the only assignment that must be done at home; it will be written at school.  Spelling for March will include lessons 27, 28, and 29.

6^th Grade Literature

We have begun our Revolutionary War journey with Johnny Tremain.  This will include comprehension questions as well as some more difficult vocabulary.  We will go over the summary of each chapter in class. In addition, the students will have a stanza of a poem to memorize by March 24 as well as a poster due by March 30.

8^th Grade English

We are continuing with our very long unit on verbs.  This will include principle parts (regular and irregular), six tenses, progressive form, active and passive voice, agreement, gerunds, and infinitives.  The test is scheduled for March 23.  We will then begin a study of adverbs which will include modifying verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; clauses; and elliptical clauses.   Spelling for March will include lessons 26, 27, and 28.
