7/8 ELA

Just an update on the Grade 7/8's current ELA. We have read a short novel,  Loon Island, by Donna Gamache and are excited to have her visiting us next week! I was BEGGED everyday to READ MORE of this novel to them! We have also started another new novel, Touching Spirit Bear, that is just as interesting as the last two!

Many in our class expressed interest in looking for summer jobs. As a result, we are learning how to write professional resumes & cover letters. Students may be bringing an outline home to go over with parents if they feel they are missing something or needing help with some dates or ideas. 

With our school days quickly dwindling, we will have to be reading and writing machines from now until the end! :)
