Welcome back 7th Graders! I know many of you from last year and many of you know me from yearbook. We will now embark on a new chapter of middle school and language arts together. The first thing you need to do is get prepared and organized. Please let me know right away if you do not have our team supply list and I will get one to you as fast as possible. You should also create a functional workplace at home where you can focus on studying and completing homework. Those of you who know me are aware I do not waste time so get ready now because DGP, Vocabulary lesson 1, and Literature lessons are starting Monday of next week. This week we are completing diagnostics, becoming acquainted with classroom rules and expectations, and introducing Unit 1.
This year is going to bring more classical literature, writing practice, and more advanced grammar. If you struggled in any of these areas last year then you need to make a reservation in my morning tutorial sessions to catch up. These start next week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:15 - 8:40. You would be surprised at how much you can learn during this time so take advantage of this one-to-one or small group time to get back on track or ahead of the game.
Last year was extremely successful and I am looking forward to a new and wonderful year. Please email me any questions or concerns and I will be back with you as soon as possible.
Ms. Brownlee
