Last blog post of the year!  We will be continuing with speeches until Wednesday of next week.  Students can turn in any make up work until then.  In eighth grade the students will use the same version of the Write Source book they did this year.  Each student needs to turn in his or her Write Source to me by Wednesday of next week.

I have had a great school year with all of you and look forward to seeing some of you again in eighth grade next year!
