Welcome to 7th Grade Language Arts

Welcome to Language Arts with Ms. Pearson. This will be a fabulous year full of many opportunities to expand your writing and reading skills.

Please review the Language Arts Course Outline, including the required materials for class. Please make sure to bring a three ring binder with dividers for LA only, a pack of 3x5 cards, and two separate 2-pocket folders to be left in class.

Please complete and return the Student Parent Contract, the Student Information Form, and the Student Survey so that I may get to know you better. These forms will be passed out during the first week of class. Links to the handouts are available for you to view and print on the right of this blog.

Please check this blog at least once a week for updates, as well as class activities. From time to time there will be information listed on this blog that students may use to earn privileges or extra credit. Check back often to take a poll and see what is happening in class.

Please make sure that I have email information for each adult that supports you so that I may stay in contact. The easiest way is to ask your adult(s) to send me an email with their email(s), their full name(s), and your full name. Email me at lpearson followed by @op97.org.

Some important dates coming up:

Thurs., 9/2 - PTO Cookout at 5:30 PM
Wed., 9/15 - Curriculum Night at 7:00 PM (parents and guardians should plan to attend)

Research Project process - 9/16 - 10/1
