A general email was sent today so you are aware of specifics for Language Arts. I will send out emails like this periodically, and please feel free to email me at any time. The information is included in this post.
This web blog is a resource for general information and class activities (click the button on the right to get the week you want). I update this blog weekly, so please use it as a resource. Students knows that it is available to them. If your student is absent, please check the blog for activities in advance so that
your student stays up to date.
Please mark Wednesday, September 15, as Curriculum Night. We hope you are able to attend so that you may get a sense of your student's 7th grade classes, especially since there are often many changes between 6th and 7th grade. Your student will receive extra credit in my LA class if you attend.
The Research Project is about to begin. (Hooray!) Students need to turn in their topic proposals WITH a printed source by Thursday. The Research Project is PROCESS oriented, and there will be many little steps along the way. More info is to come.
Students should have already turned in three blue sheets, two folders and a pack of 3x5 cards to me. They need a 3 ring binder for LA only, in addition to the student handbook, which lists their assignments.
Thank you in advance for checking your student's progress on the online gradebook. Once a week is great to help your student stay on track with all classwork. It will be available soon.
Finally, please encourage your student to be on time to class with all materials. Students can make it to their classes on time if they plan in advance.
Thanks for your support this year. I look forward to meeting you. If you would like me to add another email address, please send it to me.
