8B - 8th Grade

8th Grade Curriculum

Grammer and writing skills are an essential foundation!  Students write persuasive and expository five paragraph essays as well as creative writing including narratives and poetry.  In eighth grade, students write and perform mock trials.  In sixth and seventh students participate in poetry cafes in which students read aloud their original poems.  

Hello everyone,

Welcome back. It is a brave new world, but together we can make it work. My homework assignments will be posted here and in Google Classroom.

We are all in this together, and we will keep learning and growing if we "just keep swimming."

Finally, remember to pray.  Prayer and patience will get us through this.  Have faith.
