Monday June 1, 2015

Students completed a Simple Solutions Study Guide.  We checked it together.  Use this to help study for tomorrow's test.
We discussed 5B and began listening to 6A of 13 Reasons Why.

Today was the Walk-A-Thon / Picnic.  Lots of fun activities (giant Jenga, water balloons, tug of war, etc. ), food and music helped make it a great day!

Homework:
Study for SS Test
Poets' Study -- last chance if it is missing to adjust research grade.
Read 6A and finish discussion questions (will be collected tomorrow)

8th Grade News:
Graduation Practice (3 strikes) sheets due tomorrow
