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 />
