For the month of <strong>April</strong>, our 8th Grade Spartan Scientists will be<br />

finishing up our unit on Chemistry and beginning our review for<br />

Mrs. Geslock’s Class...<br />

the SOL in May. All while reviewing, we will be starting our final<br />

unit of the year and investigating the Laws of Motion!<br />

Wow! It’s hard to believe we have started the last marking period<br />

of the year. Sixth grade students have been very busy. In March,<br />

we finished our study of nonfiction text features. Students also<br />

had the opportunity to participate in a school wide writing<br />

activity. Currently, we are studying poetry. Students are analyzing<br />

poems using figurative language. We will also be creating our own<br />

poems using these concepts. Students still continue to visit the<br />

library for lessons from our librarian every three weeks. They also<br />

have time to return and check out new books. Our next focus will<br />

be on reviewing for the Reading SOL. These tests will take place in<br />

May and June.<br />
