THE FLIGHT PLAN
LITERATURE: Eighth graders are creating background knowledge for the next novels, ROLL OF THUNDER, HEAR MY CRY and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Students are creating a slide show on a given topic and sharing it with the class on Friday. Students are also choosing a book for the next book report. It must be a nonfiction about an event. Students must have their choice made by Friday.
RELIGION: The ACRE test will be given on Friday. The ACRE test is a standardized test about religion and the Catholic faith. This is given in fifth and eighth grades. We will spend the week preparing.
U.S. HISTORY: Students analyzed one song from HAMILTON to share with the rest of the class.
We are LEARNERS, FAITHFUL, AND KIND!
