8th Grade Parents and Students




Students will be receiving their first practice 8th grade state exam this week. Please look over the exam with your student. See what type of thinking, reading, writing activities will be required of them. Notice vocabulary words and terms that may give your student difficulty. Students, please begin to explain to your parents your test taking strategies. How will you achieve your best possible score? It is very important to understand all parts of this exam so that we can do our best in June. Thank You

Students should have picked their first research project topic by now. Topic lists have been handed out and posted on this blog (sept. 11). Students should be creating the thesis statement that they will be proving through their research. See above.
