CURRENT ISSUES- Students in the Current Issues classes are reminded to either watch a news program on television, get
a news story off the Internet or one from a newspaper. They will be required to write a half-page about the news story each
day. They are allowed to write about sports or entertainment on Mondays. This week (Aug. 19-Aug.23), the eighth grade Current
Issues class will begin a unit on the First Amendment. Seventh and sixth grade Current Issues students will be working on
writing basics.
READING SKILLS- The seventh and eighth grade reading skills classes are working on setting daily, short-term and long-term
goals. Within the next few days, they will begin learning strategies to help them with reading textbooks and non-fiction materials.
The class will also spend considerable time in the computer lab and in the library.
Proper study skills are essential for a student to enjoy success in the Diamond R-4 School District. One website that offers
help with these skills as well as access to other useful information is Awesome Library.
