Back to the Same Routine Fundamental classes are a lot of fun. They give you the chance to explore many subjects and gain the knowledge to further future goals, said Kyla Johnson. ost students expect their new classes to be a repeat of the year before. They come to expect the same kind of homework, the same classmates, and sometimes the same teacher. Students often run into a fun or neat class. History is my most interesting class, because Mr. Dunn is a wonderful teacher. When he explains something, he puts it in his own words to enable his students to fully understand. It's really a fun class to learn in, said Teresa Vandiver. Students got into a daily routine of doing the same thing everyday, but this didn't mean that their classes had to be the same day in and day out. Every class offered a new experience whether it was the fundamentals like English and math or an extra curricular class. In doing our English projects for Mrs. Eudy, I learned more about the British in the Medieval times. It was a new and exciting experience for me, said Teri Spikes. Once into the swing of things the fundamentals were as much fun as any other class. With a little hard work students enjoyed English, math, science, and social studies. il Academics

The Key to the Future French is rather hard to interpret. Otherwise it's a beautiful language and it's fun to learn, said Dee Dee Green. 1 frances y el espanol vieven a Oak Grove fFrench and Spanish come to Oak Grovel. With the increasing numbers of foreigners in our country, it has become more important for Americans to speak a foreign language. With the changed state requirements, students were now required to have two foreign language credits in order to graduate. . One way that seventh graders learned their new vocabulary was by forming a human train which then followed certain commands. This allows them to use excess energy in learning commands such as right and left, fast and slow, said lim Brown, the French and German teacher. The stu- dents also took time out on dreary days to sing French songs. Seventh graders learned at a slower level, but they gave more according to Mr. Brown. Oak Grove offered,French and Spanish to the seventh graders for the first time. Mr. Brown also said, l'The seventh graders are very enthusiastic and eager to learn. I was told to dread them, but I found the opposite instead, I love them. Mrs. Evan's Spanish class encouraged sixth graders to take Spanish as a challenge in the right direction. There are so many Spanish people that come into the United States that it would be nice to know Spanish so that you can communicate with others, said seventh grader Rachel Fitzpatrick. 2 Academics With only a few minutes left in class Mrs. Evans explains the homework trying to keep it short and sweet.
