Week of May 19-23

For the rest of this month in Language Arts we will be reading the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. It is a story that we teachers like to introduce at the end of the school year because, it really grabs the attention of you crazy 8th graders. I think you'll like this book a lot!

In Social Studies this week, we will begin chapter 11 in the textbook. You will also begin a budgeting lesson. You'll have to find the monthly salary you would be paid working in the career you chose for your board. You will then have to budget a month's worth of expenses. This lesson is a REAL eye opener to some of you, and your parents appreciate it too.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the SUN!

Hi Ms. Filanoski:
Overall, I enjoyed the whole year in your L.A. class. I learned to speak English more fluently, and I also learned to read and write better. My favorite novel was STRRTS.
Drama:
My favorite part of drama was making the commercial. It was a unique experience, seeing how much work goes into making one commercial. It was lots of fun!!!

My favorite part of the school year had to be when we were working on our carrer projects because I got learn about a carrer that isn't related to school. Plus it was a blast decorating my board and reading all about my carrer.

Hey Ms. Filanoski!
This has been a GREAT year and I have enjoyed so much of it! A few parts of the school year that I have especially enjoyed is being in your class and learning a lot about the Holocaust and reading Anne Frank. I thought that was really interesting. Also, Mr. Barans class :) A lot of interesting things happen in there hehe!! Anyways, this year has been the best and thank you for being such a great teacher! I really have learned a lot this year and mostly because of you!! :D I will miss having you as a teacher next year! Thanks again for a FUN year!!!
