New Units

Hello Students and Parents,

We are beginning our drama unit in 8th grade and wrapping up our 7th grade mystery unit this week. Here's what to expect:

8th:

We are reading Romeo and Juliet and studying the structure of the five act play. We will also explore the life and times of William Shakespeare.

7th:

We are finishing The Westing Game this week and will have our literature party next Wednesday to celebrate. Next we will move into a nonfiction unit and will explore several different selections of nonfiction from our Literature and Language text books.

Have a terrific week!

Mrs. Rubasch

New Quarter

Welcome back from Fall Break!

8th: We have just finished reading Lord of the Flies and are finishing the film this week. We will have a final exam on the story, followed by our "Island Party." Next we will be doing unit 1 in our Buckle Down books. Then we will begin our drama unit. Any students in 8A who did not take the predictive test for Acuity will make it up this week in class.

7th: We are reading The Westing Game and are about half way through. We will be continuing to read and analyze this mystery novel, but will also begin working in our Buckle Down books this week.

I hope you all enjoyed your break!

Mrs. Rubasch
