Over the next couple of weeks, we will be reading The Giver by Lois Lowry, and using this unit to help us in our review for the GA Milestones.
Students will be focusing heavily on vocab., writing skills, and language. There will be a LOT of review coming home as homework. Students were given logs to keep track of their extra credit assignments on MobyMax. If they are not signed by a parent and turned in to me, then I can not give them credit for the extra credit. Please encourage your scholars to do this work and turn in their logs! Many of them need the extra practice and the boost for their grade never hurts, either. We will have a test next Wednesday, March 22. There will be no study guide given. Students should have everything they need in their notes to prepare for the test. After Spring Break, we will have ONE WEEK to review and then we will take our Milestones test beginning on April 17. Please help us in encouraging the scholars to do their absolute best on these exams. No one loves testing, but it is something that we, as teachers, can use to see where we need to focus our instruction to best help the students be successful.

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
