7th Grade ELA

Hello 7th Grade Families!

We will miss seeing our 7th grade students in person, but we are excited about the chance see each other virtually each day while we do Remote Learning. Please encourage your students to reach out directly to us with questions and for support. They also can lean on each other by reaching out to peers for help or even just to share their independent reading and writing.

The most important things students can do each day is carve out time for meaningful independent reading. It's our hope that students read a book of their choosing for 30 minutes each day. They will have the opportunity to discuss this book online in google classroom through discussion posts and through our classroom commentary blog. Lastly, encourage your middle schoolers to read aloud to younger siblings, to grandparents (FaceTime, Zoom etc.) , to you or maybe you can read aloud to them. This can be from their choice book, a poem, a children's book, the news etc. Any reading is meaningful!

We will be meeting as a whole class for at least a portion of each school day starting at 11:15 (306) & 1:45 (301). Please see Google Classroom for all links to Google Meets. You will also be receiving email updates on Sundays from your student's homeroom teacher that will give you some additional insight on the plans for each week.
