According to the Department of Education, English Language Arts "Are all of the communication and language skills and processes people use every day to receive and send information." To look at both the 7th and 8th grade standards, click here.
This year we are focusing on the updated 7th & 8th Grade Minnesota English Language Arts Standards that were adopted in 2020.
To meet the standards, we will be using a variety of book groups this year. Not only do book groups allow us to meet the standards, they also help us read a wide variety of books and stories.
