Welcome to the 8th Grade
|
This is an exciting year because it is the last year before high school. Language Arts will be slightly different this year. There is a new reading anthology entitled Literature. There is also anew vocabulary/spelling book entitled Word Wise. The rest of the 8th grade grid remains unchanged. The 8th grade year brings a little different challenge to your student: the Constitution graduation requirement. This requirement may seem like a huge hurdle, but all of the students who put forth the effort will accomplish this goal. I strongly recommend that your student attend the Constitution class either first semester or second. All information needed, instruction, and the required testing will take place during that 11-week class session. If you have any questions concerning this graduation requirement please feel free to email or call me. Linda Dane lidane@kern.org 852-6732

CONSTITUTION CLASS
"Everything an 8th grader ever wanted to know about our country's Constitution, but was afraid to ask" will be the content of this 11 week enrichment course which will begin on September 22, 2011.
The class runs from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and will help your student satisfy the Constitution requirement for graduation. Parents are required to attend class on September 22nd to better prepare students for testing.
Contact Mrs. Dane for more information. A similar class will run during the second semester. Students should sign up during enrichment sign-ups on September 13 or 14 depending upon your priority status.
