I apologize for the delay, but we are still working to get all of the students' placement tests completed on Moby Max. We have had some technical difficulties, but we are working out the kinks, so hopefully this information will go home to you earlier next week.
Please remember to continue to check the dates for the novel explication checkpoints! It is very important that the students meet those deadlines in order to be on track to turn their final drafts in on time. This is a MAJOR project grade. It is also very important that students are reading and following the instructions that were given to them. Many of them are struggling to do what is asked, because they are not taking the time to read their instructions. 7th grade will have a test over the Collection 2 skills and vocabulary on Wednesday, Feb. 1. Please make sure they are completing all IXL assignments! Right now they should have completed IXL Level I EE.1, FF.1, FF.2, and Q.1 with a score of at least an 85.

This week, 7th grade is working on their "placement" test for Moby Max. This will give me detailed information on the language, reading, and writing skills that we need to focus on both in tutoring and in extra practice at home.
If your student does not have internet or computer access at home, please let me know, and I can send alternate assignments home for them to practice these skills. Students who work on these practice skills outside of school (and outside of my class assignments) will be given extra credit. I will send home a log for them to use to keep track of their practice time and skills they are working on that you can initial. Students will go to http://www.mobymax.com/ga2634 to login. This is our school's unique URL for MobyMax. Their username is their first name with the first four numbers of their chromebook password. Their password is the same as their chromebook password. After each student completes their placement test, I will be conferencing with them to show them where they need to concentrate their practice, and I will assign those skills to be worked on at home. Please let me know if you have any questions. 2Happy New Year to everyone and welcome back!!
7th grade will jump right back to school this week with narrative essay writing. Next week, beginning Monday, January 9, we will work on Collection 2 in our books and online curriculum site. We will be delving into reading comprehension as well as writing and grammar standards. Our writing focus will primarily be argumentative essays. 7th grade tutoring will resume on Friday, January 13 from 3:30-4:30. Due to low attendance, I will only be offering 7th grade tutoring on Friday. |
Mrs. Smith's 7th Grade ELALanguage Arts is, along with mathematics, one of the primary subjects in our education. Without language arts, we would lack the skills to communicate adequately or to analyze and process information that is provided. In 7th grade, we will work on building those skills through grammar, writing, and reading. Archives
