Please remember to bring your charged Chromebook and charger, your binder, a pair of earbuds, a pencil, and an independent reading book to class each day. We will use highlighters, sticky notes, markers, colored pencils, and rulers often. Class sets will be available, but if you prefer to use your own, you should also bring those daily.
All eighth grade students are encouraged to read at least twenty minutes each night. Research has proven that independent reading significantly impacts student success. In fact, students who do this generally score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests. To encourage students in this pursuit, ILMS will be participating in a reading incentive program by Bookstack this year. More information on this will be shared as it becomes available.
I encourage parents and students to sign up for Remind. I use this site to send out daily homework reminders and other general announcements. The link to join ELA8 is https://www.remind.com/join/62a89eb, and the one for English I is https://www.remind.com/join/67g927.
