Print6th Grade English — October takes us on a study of nouns including compound, proper, common, abstract, concrete, singular, plural, gender, the nominative case (subject, complement, direct address, appositive), and the possessive case. The test on nouns is scheduled for October 20. We will then begin a unit on pronouns to include recognizing nouns, personal, demonstrative, and the subjective case. Pronouns will continue into November. Spelling will include lessons 7, 8, 9, and 10.
6th Grade Math — We just finished a unit on multiplication properties. The study of division properties in October will include short division, estimating quotients, dividing whole numbers, dividing by powers of ten, dividing decimals, expressions, and problem solving. Our mad minute results are improving every week.
7th Grade English — We are in the midst of a study of nouns. This will include collective, compound, common, proper, concrete, abstract, gender, plurals, the nominative case (subject, appositive, complement, direct address), the possessive case, and the objective case (direct object, object of the preposition, appositive, indirect object).

We just finished our first class novel, Walk Two Moons and thoroughly enjoyed it. We are now into a Fiction/Non-Fiction unit from the text book. We will read the stories in class and have comprehension and vocabulary with each story. The students will also learn the two ways to design a plot diagram. The Fiction/Non-Fiction test is scheduled for October 21. We will then begin our second class novel, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Assignments will include comprehension questions, vocabulary, pop quizzes, and we will thoroughly discuss the Christian symbolism in the novel. Achievement test is the week of October 12 so no tests or projects will be due that week.

We are currently reading Ten Little Indians also known as And Then There Were None. This is an Agatha Christie murder mystery which the students really seem to enjoy. Students are also given twenty different vocabulary words every two weeks. These words can be found on my web page. We study these words together in class each day, and students are required to take an on-line quiz over these words – www.vocabtest.com. The test dates for these are also found on my web site.
This year I am combining an ELA research paper with their science project research paper. This paper will take six weeks to write, so students need to be thinking of exactly what they want to do as an experiment. They may still work with a partner, but they will write their papers individually. They will receive a grade in both Science and English for this paper.
8th Grade
We are finishing The Giver. Please check my website or your child’s planner for test dates. We will also have a writing assignment that will be assigned after the novel is finished. Just as a reminder, students still need to take their on-line quizzes this year. They can be found at www.vocabtest.com. We have vocabulary quizzes every two weeks.
