Grizzlies in Mrs. Tillett's science class are studying taxonomy, which is the science of classifying things. Social studies classes will be working on American Indians, concentrating on the Trail of Tears. The math Grizzlies have begun clawing their way through decimals, while the algebra class is now solving equations. The third trimester will be filled with social activities, state tests, class projects and homework assignments. The 8th grade Awards Ceremony will be at Rialto High School on June 8 for the students who have a 2.0 or better cumulative g.p.a.
Tolerance is the focus for our team unit.
English class started third trimester by writing letters to eighth grade students in Ankara, Turkey. Persecution issues that tie in to World War II will include a research paper on Adolf Hitler, the Jewish Holocaust, reading the Diary of Anne Frank, and current events. We will host a Holocaust survivor to speak about his life during 1940-1944. Any contributions to our unit will be greatly appreciated. In science, the Scorpions are studying the Fungi Kingdom.
