What we're doing in class . . . .
5th and 6th grade are just starting the book, A Family Apart. This Pathways study is a historical fiction text. Students will go on an adventure, learn new vocabulary, and respond to the text through discussion and writing. Students are also learning about sentence structure. |
7th and 8th graders have just begun an intro to writing research papers. Students will explore "Animal Adaptations" by researching an animal of their choice with their group, writing a research paper, and presenting their findings to their peers. |
