Welcome Back!
Welcome back to the class of 2009! I hope that you enjoyed the summer as well as the Newberry Award winning novel Kira-Kira. This is the first time I will be teaching the novel to the 8th grade and I look forward to the analytical discussions we will be having in class. As soon as the year begins we will hit the ground running as we review the novel and each student begins work on a Newberry Award winner for their first book report!
Throughout the year I will use the blog to post information about assignments, updates on class sessions, and online resources that can be used to help develop your literary skills.
8th grade is a time of great challenges, change, and excitement! Get ready for a great year.

Varsity Football Prepares to Defend League Title
Hello Spartan faithful! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacation, reading lots of books, and sleeping late. I'm getting 2 of 3 done; the sleeping late is tough.
As summer progresses quickly it's time to start thinking about football practice! Despite the fact that all the info was passed out before school ended, I figure some of you may have "misplaced" the paper or maybe your dog ate it, etc. So here are the key dates and information:
Summer workouts begin Monday, August 11th! We will practice from 5-6pm at Westchester Park on the following dates: 8/11; 8/12; 8/14; 8/18; 8/19; 8/21; 8/25; 8/26; and 8/28.
There is no school on September 1 (Labor Day) so there will not be practice that day. Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 2 our regular practice schedule for the season will be Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays with games usually on Saturdays from mid-September until mid-November. Exact practice times for the school year will be posted at the end of the summer after confirmation from the Park.
Remember, please email Mr. B (spartan7th@hotmail.com) if you plan on playing, but will miss summer practices due to vacation plans. The summer workouts are not mandatory, but they will provide a head start for players participating.
See you on the 11th. Go Spartans!
