7th Literature- 7th grade has finished reading a short story titled “Beware of the Dog”. This has been a story about suspense and students have been working hard to understand how an author creates suspense in a story. We will read the poem ” Annabel Lee” and “The Highway Man” next.

Junior High Class Model:
Along with various specials teachers, students will be switching for Social Studies/ 7&8th Literature (Ms. Diaz), Science/ Math (Ms. Fogle), Math (Mrs. Van Wyck), ELA (Ms. Skinner) and Religion (Mr. Ochoa) throughout the week. This gives students a feel for switching courses and having many different teachers and teacher expectations as they prepare for high school.
