What's happening in class?

It's the last week of January! Where does the time go?

***This week will be pretty busy for all of the 8th graders, both in and out of class. Here are some important dates and events to remember:

Monday night (January 28th) at 7:00 P.M. = DGS open house for incoming freshmen, last names beginning with A-Mal.

Wednesday = (January 30th) 8th grade picture day! Dress sharply!

Wednesday night (January 30th) at 7:00 P.M. = DGS open house for incoming freshmen, last names beginning with Mam-Z.

This week in L.A., we will be working on Wordskills unit 10. The completed book and quiz are due on Friday. Additionally, we will be researching information pertaining to the 1960's hot-button debate topics.

***Debates begin on Wednesday, February 6th!!

This week in reading class, we will continue reading the novel, Monster. It is not looking very promising for the main character, Steve Harmon, right now. The prosecutor's witnesses have definitely done some damage to Steve's character.

Will he be able to win the jury over when he testifies, or will he simply do more harm than good? Stay tuned to find out!
