8th Grade

We are off to a bumpy start. You MUST do assignments or you will fall behind. Reading counts as an assignement. I was disappointed that no class was not able to answer the very first question about the reading.

Below is the Guided Notes for Chapter 1 Section 3. These will be turned in at the beginning of class on Tuesday. You must do them. We will have our first test over Chapter 1 on Thursday of next week. The tests this year will be the same format as last year. 50 points and the bulk short answer in complete sentences. Be ready for it. You do not want to start off the school year in the hole.
