No More Rootin' Tootin' Vocab!

It's true, I have discontinued the monthly project: Rootin' Tootin' Vocab. While I still see the value in learning Latin and Greek roots, this project was not meeting the goals I set for it. Ultimately, I wanted students to learn the roots and find examples of them in their everyday lives. As I reviewed the results (and the projects turned in) I saw the need for a change. We will continue our daily Latin and Greek root word work, but for now, Rootin' Tootin' vocab is on hold. I will be revising the project and will provide eighth graders with new instructions soon.

Report Cards Go Home!

Report Cards for the first marking period went home today, November 2, 2007. Included in the envelope was an announcement of conference times. Parents, please feel free to drop in to visit with us Monday or Tuesday November 19th and 20th. We like the opportunity to talk with you and plan for the success of your children! See you then.
