Hi, Grammarland!

Thankfulness in 2020 is something I've been thinking about. Even though we have suffered illness and losses, God is so good to us. One of the ways He blesses us is with our veterans. On Tuesday, my classes learned the history of Veterans Day; eighth graders then created one-pagers, while sixth graders made acrostic poems. I wanted them to understand why they had a day off on Wednesday.. 

Tuesday was huge day for the middle school girls! We had our first ever Middle School Girls' Prayer Group packing party. Parents, neighbors, and friends donated items and snacks, and we packed a whopping 93 boxes! I'm looking forward to next Tuesday, when Mrs. Ross's class has their FFA packing party!

Next week, 6th graders will finish "Rikki Tikki Tavi", which they are loving. We will take a test on the grammar chapter we just finished, and we will take a test on Rudyard Kipling's stories.

8th graders also have a grammar test next week on punctuation, and they will finish the spooky story rough drafts we've been working on for weeks. 

Don't forget! This is your last weekend to shop for Operation Christmas Child! Right now, there are 195 boxes in my room...and I'm looking forward to 500 by Friday!

May God bless you. Thank you, as always, for sharing your wonderful middle schoolers with me.

Blessings,

Mrs. Desjarlais
