What's Happening in the classroom

In English!

The 8th graders just finished a successful unit on The Outsiders. The kids really enjoyed the book, and we are excited to see their final projects.

The 10th graders are woking hard on their first research paper using MLA formatting. They're getting a taste of what college papers will look like.
