We have hosted our first mass and they did a GREAT job!  Currently, we are looking to schedule our House Social, to be held at Sky Zone again.  Updates on a date once it has been finalized.  Keep up the hard work Gregory House.

Who Dunnit?  We are still working of finding details and drawing inferences as we try to find out who killed Sam Westing in our novel The Westing Game.  Keep in mind the students have 3 Reading Challenge assignments to finish before the first quarter ends on 10/12.

Unit one, Expository writing is in the books.  Our next unit will focus on writing a Narrative.  The students are deciding our topic.  This should be interesting.  We are working hard on grammar in our books as well as DGP.  

We have just finished our first unit over Text Structure.  We wrapped up the unit with a study of the novel Bull Run.  Our next unit will feature a study on Bias.  As Eighth grade rolls on, we are looking forward to getting our 8th grade shirt designed and ordered in the next few weeks.  Exciting times.
