Eighth graders heading down the final stretch! Are you prepared?
Eighth graders are now heading into their final stretch-- watch for lots of permission slips for their upcoming field trips. The next one is May 1 to the Roger Williams Zoo and Monster Golf. It should be a great opportunity for them to socialize--which is something they really enjoy!

Greek & Latin roots unit
Eighth graders are about midway through the second book of our Greek and Latin roots unit. Currently we're working on about eleven roots/phrases. Students are responsible for the root or prefix, several words that incorporate the root or prefix and the Greek or Latin words that pertain to those vocabulary words.
There's a lot to study! The test schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, April 28 Periods 1 & 6
Wednesday, April 29 Periods 2 & 5
There is no word bank, so students need to study hard! Use the link on the left for book 2 unit 2 to access some study activities!
