Recent ActivityClass Announcements  (8th Grade) Chapter 7 TestHey 8th grade students! Just a heads up. The test on Chapter 7 will be Monday, 30th. A study guide is prepared for you and can be dowloaded from the file on "Study Guides" online. Don't forget that you can also be reviewing notes (ISN), resources in my online file, and your book.
 Important Reminder!Students and Parents - Just a reminder that most of your reading is completed at home. It is extremely important that you do this reading and note-taking. Plans and activities I have scheduled in class are based on the assumption you have covered the material at home. Not only will you have difficulty with the assignment, but you are likely to fall farther and farther behind.
