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