8th Grade Language Arts, Literature, Latin: Nov. 10-14

Week 5 of 2nd term

 

We finally finished The Crucible last week! We moved on to short stories, and our example was a Shurlock Holmes mystery, “The Speckeled Band”.  We are still working on the third declension nouns in Latin. We are going to slow down and spend some time really learning the endings.  There will be a new vocabulary test on Friday. We will be working on best words for blanks in Vocabulary. The essay of the week is on being thankful during this season.  I’d like the children to reflect on the real meaning of Thanksgiving and who or what they should be thankful for.
