Welcome back! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Break.
7th grade will be very busy this week. Before the break, we began the process of writing an informative essay. That will be continued and completed in class this week. If everyone is on task and working, then nothing should need to come home; however, if the steps are not completed in class, the final draft is due on Monday, December 5. 7th grade tutoring will resume this week on Thursday at 4 and Friday at 3:30.

We have a lot going on this week in 7th grade.
Our vocabulary test is on Wednesday, November 16. The vocabulary is on the Google Classroom, and it is also on Spelling City. If you go to spellingcity.com to practice, your username is first name.last name (example: april.smith) and your password is your chromebook password. There are various activities there that can be used to practice. Spelling DOES count. It is very important that students are on task and working during class time this week. We are taking steps to write an informative essay. Anything not completed in class will have to be completed at home in order to keep up with the class. Extra time will not be given to students who are not using their time wisely. Thanksgiving Feast for Middle School is Tuesday, November 15 at 12:30. Early dismissal on Friday,November 18. Details can be found on the Odyssey Website. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Seventh grade is off to a great start on our informative essay unit. This week we are analyzing model essays and discussing types of organization patterns that informative essays will follow.
We will have a vocab test next week over the ten words we have learned this week. Soon, we will begin the writing process. All work should be completed in class; however, if students are off task or not using time wisely, then it is possible that some work may need to come home. Otherwise, Mr. Johnson has approved NO HOMEWORK for the week of Nov. 14-18. As always, please let me know if there are any questions. |
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
