T'was Two Weeks Before Winter Break

Well, with only 10 school days left until the holiday break, the 8th graders will be busy with the following units/lessons:
Literature classes will be finishing up their novels and Literature Circle packets this week and doing a creative representation next week.  Hopefully, we will wrap up this unit by watching the movie version of the novel before break.
Language Arts classes will be studying VERBS.  Think--caroling, wrapping, baking, shopping, visiting, etc. 
Math class will be beginning Chapter 4--Multiple Representation= rules, patterns, graphs, tables.

Feliz Navidad--the 7th grade Spanish classes will be celebrating Christmas by playing Navidad BINGO, eating Mexican wedding cakes, and drinking Chocolate Caliente.  Delicioso!

Happy 2013!!!
