 What’s Going On In Mr.      Firey’s English Class?

 

8th Grade English

    

                  In my class this year, this is the schedule we will follow:

Monday — Journal Entry, English assignment, introduce “Questions of the Week .“

Tuesday — Class Warmup, Spelling assignment

Wednesday — Journal Entry, English assignment

Thursday — Class Warmup, Spelling Test, Share Journal Entries in class

Friday — English Test, go over “Questions of the Week.”

   We have learned about 5 of the 8 parts of speech: Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs, Adverbs, and Adjectives.  We are now discussing prepositions.  By Christmas we’ll be talking about conjunctions and interjections. FUN!  FUN!

 

 

Homeroom Classes

 

   The 8th grade is divided into 5 homerooms:

1)  Firey    2)  White   3)  Brisbin   4)  Roe    5)  Colclazier

    8th graders go to homeroom classes each day for 20 minutes (from 12:05-12:25).  However, homeroom classes rotate.  For example, my homeroom class comes to me on Monday, to White on Tuesday, to Brisbin on Wednesday, to Roe on Thursday, and to Colclazier on Friday.

  When the students come to my homeroom, we are working Math problems like the ones they will encounter on standardized achievement tests.

 
Text Box: Inspiration In the 1870’s a bishop who had charge of a small denominational college made his annual visit and stayed with the president. The bishop boasted a firm belief that everything that could be invented had been invented. The college president thought otherwise. “In 5o years,” he said, “men will learn to fly like birds.” The bishop, shocked, replied, “Flight is reserved for angels, and you have been guilty of blasphemy.” The name of the bishop was Milton Wright, and back home he had two small sons — Orville and Wilbur. — New York Times

Corner

 

My wife and 2 daughters live on a horse ranch west of Prattville.  We own 8 horses, 1 llama, 4 dogs and 2 cats.  Among our horses we have a halflinger, friesians, a thoroughbred, miniatures, and saddlebreds.  We just built a new barn, and we are now boarding horses, working on riding trails, etc.  We have an outdoor arena that we use a lot.  I have a 6-year old daughter who attends Moriah Christian Academy in Prattville where she is in the 1st grade.
