February has been an extremely busy month for the 7th, 8th, and 9th graders in the English classroom at BSP.
*The 7th graders have been working on reading for understanding and summarizing stories.
*The 8th grade students completed 5 paragraph state writes and enjoyed some delicious lunch meals to celebrate their accomplishments!
*The 9th graders were busy this week with the WGDE Writing test. Next week, the students will continue with a narrative write and an expository write for the district. Please help your child come to school prepared to do their best. It is important that they get plenty of sleep and eat a healthy breakfast.
All the students have been focusing on appropriate technology procedures and expectations. The vocabulary terms for the week included plagiarism and paraphrasing. The students practiced citing book sources and identifying various web-sites.
Remember to mark your calendars for the March 8th Parent Conferences. The students will be sharing with you their "books of knowledge" and discussing all of their accomplishments from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. We hope to see you there!
