Week of May 3rd 2010

This week in class we will be finishing up our study of poetry by making poetry books. Pre-AP classes will be writing a book about their 7th grade experiences and general will be writing various forms of poetry such as Haiku, and Limerick.

We will also spend a great deal of time on SOL review, and we will have a last minute "crash course" in test taking skills.

This year has gone by so quickly it's hard to believe that we are already on the downward slope. If you would like to spend some online time practicing for various tests, don't forget to check out the link below.
