Language Arts

January 2026

To start off the new year, all classes got a review of cursive writing and will be using cursive writing all ERs as well as other assignments periodically. 6th and 7th Grade will be practicing comprehension and using context clues and then will be moving on to some in depth MAP prep as well as the 8th grade. 8th grade is currently working on an essay contest through the Missouri Peace Officers Foundation for a chance to win up to $500 dollars.  English I is currently reading Romeo & Juliet and learning the language of Shakespearean writing. The Sophomore class is back into their Literature books reviewing poetry and figurative language. Next for them is writing styles and views . Juniors are working on their Poetry Anthologies which will be a big project containing poems, reflective essays, and writing poetry. Seniors are starting another fun project where they get to practice being a teacher for a class period and create a demonstration speech and teach us a skill of theirs.
