Overdue notices have been given to students. Books that have been damaged or lost will need to be paid for before the last day of school.

S/O to all my students for doing well on the final exam. You all make me proud to be your teacher. 8th graders the ride has been fun and I am going to miss each of you dearly.

In class with Mrs. Leaphart and Mrs. Connell, students responded to a writing prompt in their journals each day. Students completed a memory book for the 2024-2025 school year. They finished their Charlotte’s Web unit. Students enjoyed breakfast while watching the Charlotte’s Web movie on Friday. All students also completed a phonics assessment for next school year.

This week, Mr. Cauthen and Mrs. Jackson kept students engaged by plotting points on a coordinate graph and connecting those points to draw different animals. They also had students complete a sheet with tessellations, resulting in some attractive examples by a few students. The last activity was addition & subtraction bingo, a fun way to check their knowledge of addition facts and of regrouping processes.

In class with Mrs. Mize, we finished up our lessons on living and nonliving things. We had a day at the “beach” where students got to play various games identifying different objects you would find on or at the beach, as living or nonliving things. They also decided if they were vertebrates or invertebrates, and if they were a vertebrate we classified each as a mammal, reptile, fish, bird or amphibian.

Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Faulkenberry’s classes have finished up Spring benchmarks and solved logic puzzles.

Ms. Hoyer/Ms. Robertson’s students have been playing End Of Year Games (Jeopardy, Family Feud, etc.) They will continue this next week as we wrap up the year. We hope everyone has a wonderful summer!!

It was a fantastic way for them to showcase their knowledge, communication skills, and creativity. I was so proud of how seriously they took the opportunity. They truly stepped up and showed off some amazing talents.

Mrs. Armbrust’s classes celebrated the end of the year with “Paper Plate Awards!” Here are a few!

We are so excited to join with you in celebrating our 8th Grader’s Promotion to high school this Wednesday evening at 6:00 in the VPAC auditorium. A letter was sent home this past week with details about arrival, decorum and dress. Please make sure to see the hard copy your student was given or have them locate the link on their 8th grade Google Classroom page.
