" I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore." PSALM 121

**7th Grade Review Spelling Test will be Monday, March 9

We will continue with Grammar Testing and Quizzes this week.  Remember, not all quizzes will be posted on the blog.  It is the old "pop quiz" that many of you are familiar with.  However, I will never quiz you on something I have not gone over with you.  So, if you have a quiz that is unannounced, it will be on the day's lesson, or the reading assignment I gave you the night before.  Be responsible and ask questions, I am here to help you!

This week:

Monday- In each class we will work on a writing tip:  First Words of Each Sentence; we will review spelling for this week's test; we will begin grammar work on objects, complements, phrases, and clauses

FOR EACH GRADE:  Spelling tests will be on Friday, March 13, 2026.  Beginning the 4th nine weeks, you will need to study all of the words on your spelling list.  I will not be providing  the ones that you will be tested on.  With that, I will increase the number of bonus points you earn for writing your spelling words, and words and definitions three times.  It will increase from 10 to 15 points.
