Carbage’s Language Arts Classes, February 11-15, 2008
TCAP testing is fast approaching! Yet, there are still very many skills that we must cover so that we are prepared for the challenges of the test.
We have been working on grammar skills by completing a packet of previously learned skills. We will continue to practice these skills and review them orally in class. 8.3.spi.3; 8.3.spi. 5 ; 8.3.spi.7
Our reading focus for this week will be as follows:
- Analogies 8.1.spi.16
- Figures of Speech 8.1.spi.15
The eighth grade Language Arts department has also purchased the TCAP Coach/ Blueprint for Learning books. We will spend some time practicing the skills in these books, in that they are directly correlated to the TCAP achievement test for Language Arts, teaching the students the skills that are measured on the test.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
Parents, remember that next Monday, February 18, 2008, is a holiday for the students.
Have a wonderful week!
