A Crow as a pet?
This month we have been reading When Crowbar Came. This is an awesome story by Jean Craighead George which talks about a crow they had as a pet. Through this pet crow they learned how intelligent these animals are. We even learned that crows could be trained to speak just like parrots. This was the last story from our 1st reading unit, so this week we have started our unit 1 benchmark testing.

Verbs
The students have been working hard learning to conjugate verbs and future tense but they also have been learning medical terminology in Spanish. The students had to use their new vocabulary and create skits in their show called El Consultorio. The students really worked hard and their presentation showed it. I am very proud of both 8th grade classes and so should they.

Pronouns
In conversation and song lyrics, we hear the common saying, It’s just between you and me/I. But which one do you say: I or me? How do you know? Eighth graders learned this month how to figure out which pronouns to use and why.
