Reading: Today we began our study of non-fiction.  The first few historical narratives that we will be reading are about the civil rights movement.  Today's selection was "Abraham Lincoln: Backwoods Boy".  Students needed to read the selection and begin answering the questions on pg. 324.

English: We are continuing with the study of modifiers.


March is Reading Month.  Our theme is a tribute to Dr. Seuss, "Grab Your Hat and Read With the Cat".  An informational letter is being sent home with all middle-schoolers.
