8th grade worked diligently to practice for their Proficiency test. All that is left is for them to complete this year is the long walk for graduation.

7th grade has done extremely well this year in Spanish. They have learned so much. Their Spain project went very well, which helped them to learn about the country itself and the interesting cities they have to visit.

Students in Middle School had an end of the year review game in which they split up into groups, gave their team a name and worked together to answer questions based on what they learned this year. It was a fun way to review.
Miss Arnau
Students made thank you/we’ll miss you cards and posters for their teachers. These cards showed the children’s appreciation and were placed in their teacher’s mail box on the last day of school.

In the month of June we discussed what we did during the whole year and we did a review of everything we learned.
Miss Quiros
In the month of June we wrote a research paper. During the school year we have read many books that came from different periods of time and for the one period that we did not cover I assigned to the students to write a research paper that allowed them to research any period that they were interested in and discuss it. They had to explain it, relate to it, write what interested them in the specific period of literature history they picked.
Miss Quiros
In June we have been preparing everyday for the regents. We have completed various review sheets and I have graded them and explained to them individually what needs to be improved and what area they should concentrate on the most. I am confident in the aspect that my students will all pass the regents and that they will be confident in themselves while taking the exam itself.
Miss Quiros
In the month of May we talked about gender roles. The students had a chance to become familiar with how the opposite sex thinks and acts and why.
Miss Quiros
In the month of May we read the book Pilgrams Progress by Paul Bunyan. As we read the book we began to concentrate on the fact that the students can apply what is written in this book to their own life. We also read the Screwtape Letters written by C.S. Lewis. The students enjoyed both pieces of literature and learned much from them.
Miss Quiros
I would just like to inform you of what has been taking place for the month of May in my classroom. We have been studying and reading literature such as the book Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. The students took great interest in the book and they seemed to enjoy it tremendously. It was very educational in the fact of learning the different styles of historical authors and discovering a whole new level of expressing your emotions through tragedy in writing.
