Asalamualaikum Parents,
This week, the students will begin CH 19 (African Americans in the Mid-1800s) in which the students will analyze quotations and examine images to discover how African Americans faced slavery and discrimination in the mid-1800s. They will then create a journal describing some of the experiences of a slave in the period.
**Don’t forget to check class-dojo at the end of the week for missing assignments, and check GPA to see what those missing assignments are, if needed.

There will be a two week testing window in which your student will take several English mastery tests. For the week heading into the tests as well as the actual weeks of testing, we will be doing practice tests and review.
These tests will be a measurement of what your student has learned to this point of his/her education... it is not a pass or fail test, nor will they pass or fail their grade level according to the results.
Students should do their best and give their greatest effort. Please see that they have enough rest and eat well so they can do that!
We will also begin compiling student books to be published. As the graduating class, the eighth grade has chosen a time capsule theme. They will each add to the book a now and in the future writing about themselves. They will also work on some creative computer illustrations. These books will be available for purchase by you and I look forward to seeing how they come out... there has been some amazing writing this year and your students have alot to say about their futures!
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me... your students have worked hard! The school year is almost finished!
Please encourage your student to read at home... reading makes the mind grow!
Jazakum Allahu Khairun

Week 5/11-5/15
8th graders are working on linear and proportional functions. They will work on understanding that the slope between any two points is the same on a non-vertical line. Similar triangles will be use to deepen their understanding of the meaning of slope. Students will define, evaluate, and compare linear functions. They will also use the functions to model relationships between quantities.
