Katherine Diehl explains to the 8-2's the Bill of Rights that Thomas Jefferson said needed to be added to the Constitu- tion and for which several states delayed ratification of the Constitution until the amendments were assured them. We surely have overworked some of the amendents. In Arithmetic the eighth graders be- come most efficient. They learn to work problems then become more thorough by checking one another's work.

These 8-7's, Larry Rosenblum, Susie Simmons, and Cheryl Weeks, are learn- ing that finding the subject and predi- cate in sentences can be like a game and a very interesting one, too.
