STEMS
* Stems are done in 7th Grade Language Arts.
Each week, students have new stems and words to study.
QUIZZES are every THURSDAY! *
On the quiz, students will be given the meaning of the stem. They will have to write the stem beside the meaning and spell the word containing the stem. Every four weeks, students have a cumulative quiz.
WE ARE FINISHED WITH STEMS FOR THE 2012/2013 SCHOOL YEAR!! Please check out the regular homework page and project page for details about what's going on in May!
