8th Grade Assignments Dec. 1-5 (Bambas)
Updated by on Monday, December 1, 2008 at 2:44 PM

We are moving on to the last section of third declension nouns: third declension neuter nouns.  The “regular neuter nouns follow a pattern that is easy to remember, the nominative and accusative singular and plural are alike.  The neuter i-stem needs to be treated like a whole new chant and learned on its own. We’ll take a break from the vocabulary strategy lessons until after Christmas.  Our reading skill is comparing and contrasting characters using character traits, which will also help us write about our own characters.  Remember

ALL CHRISTMAS STORIES MUST BE COMPLETED BY DECEMBER 16 so they can be properly copied and bound.
