Thursday, Sept. 6th

Grade 7/8 A:

Yes! Wow! The number of students that came up to me and said, "The name of that part of speech describing an exclamation sentence is an INTERJECTION!" was wonderful!! Gee! Man! (Get the point?!)

Language Arts:

- Make a Topic Triangle* and then write a Paragraph (3 to 6+ sentences) about that specific topic. DUE MONDAY.

- Read for 20+ mins (again - only 5 nights a week - you pick the nights)

*A topic triangle: start with a general topic, like Gaming Systems. Then narrow it down and narrow it down, etc. until you have something really specific: Gaming Systems - Microsoft - XBox - XBox 360...  When you have a specific topic, write about that (NOT THE GENERAL TOPIC).

Science:
Be ready to go outside day 3 next week - Thursday, Sept. 13th. We will be starting our unit on "Interactions with the Environment".
