First Week of School!

Dear Parents,

We had a wonderful first week of school. Just wanted to update you on what we are doing in class.

7th A and B (English): We are learning how to write an essay in class. Monday (29th) and Tuesday (30th) in class the 7th graders most finish writing their essay so I can check it. On Wednesday (31st) the students need to type their final essay on the computer and print it out to turn in on Thursday (September 1st). They are doing a great good on their essay....I'm so proud of them!

8th A and B (English): This week in class we learned about figurative language and then started reading the story "The Treasure of Lemon Brown".

9A (English): We learned about figurative langauge and plot, theme and setting.

11th A and B (Philosophy): This week in Philosophy class we learn what philosophy is and started talking about ethics. Working in classes in groups of 3 on exploring values.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Blessings,

Mrs. Whitson
