Grammar/Vocabulary
Daily grammar activities (including vocabulary)
For daily grammar building, we will be using Giggles in the Middle. This is a progressive story of a middle school that is used in both 7th and 8th grades. For this year, I will be catching the students up to the 8th grade spot (most students did not have this last year).
Students will be responsible for completing the activities during the first ten minutes of class. This will be their "DO NOW" when they enter the classroom. If a student is absent, they need to check the binder in the back of the classroom for that day's activity.

Weekly Vocabulary
This year, we will utilize a variety of vocabulary building tools to better assist all students. We will be using Wordly Wise (grades 8 and 9) and Word Within the Word (for Greek/Latin stems).
A great resource for students to study their Wordly Wise words is the website. (Just click on the Wordly Wise in the sentence and it will take you to the website.)
