Class Magazine

By -

8th grade families, 


We're working on our 5th-annual 8th grade class magazine. All students are contributing to the magazine, which is bound like a magazine and looks like a professional publication. In the magazine, students share their "Where I'm From" poems, giving readers a glimpse of the people, places, events, and objects that have shaped the students' lives. This is a great collection from the class of 2016 and shows the voice and personality of each student who participated! 

The proceeds from the magazine benefit Sacred Heart. The magazines costs $22 per magazine. Normally, we make these for Brown Bottle, but Brown Bottle has been moved to November. If you would like to sign up for a magazine, you can contact me (sarah.rajewski@shoj.org). Parents can purchase this item for themselves, grandparents, the student, and anyone else you think might enjoy it. 

After ordering, the final magazines will be delivered to the student in class to take home to whomever ordered (parent, grandparent, etc.), or if a parent prefers, the teacher can deliver it directly (at the carpool line or by picking it up in the classroom). 

I wanted to make you aware of this awesome keepsake for your student. I've included the cover and the back cover of the magazine from years past below as a preview. This years will look very similar. 

Thanks, 
Miss R.

The 7th and 8th grade had the chance to hear from some of our students from last year! We talked a lot about being ready for high school and what skills would be helpful for our middle schoolers, regardless of what high school they choose. Thanks so much to our 9th graders for this great information! Feel free to talk to your child about what he or she learned.

Last week, 8th graders worked on compound sentences. They made life-sized FANBOYS (conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So), which we're finishing up this week. They will have a test in a couple weeks. We also read "The Tell-Tale Heart," and Mrs. Kelly dressed up as Edgar Allan Poe on the same day! This week, we have started writing our National Novel Writing Month project, where students are trying to write a word-count goal they set for themselves. We're also finishing our read aloud, Fish , and tying in some SCOPE nonfiction text about refugees and child labor laws throughout the world. We will be starting Christmas Carol next week!  7th graders finished up a month of SCOPE magazine today. I loved seeing their play presentations last Friday. Their costumes were creative! We will be starting our WWII unit this week. One class will be reading Daniel's Story , while the other focuses on background information about the time period -- and then we'l
