7^th Grade News February 3, 2012

We all survived the week! It was so much with all the activities, but also very tiring. We are looking forward to getting back to the routine of a regular week.

***The 7^th graders have been asked to help with Pre-K Night on Thursday the 9^th from 6-7:30. If anyone can help out, let me know by Wednesday. Thank you!

Reading—We will finish The Witch of Blackbird Pond this week. We will conclude with a final test and then a final project. O

English—We will practice group speeches on Tuesday, and then the speeches will be due on Wednesday. We have used lots of time this week to practice.

Again, spelling words are on Spellingcity.com if students lose their word lists. We are on List #5 of Witch of Blackbird Pond. The students also have a word list.

Just some reminders of what I expect in 7^th grade:

v Complete sentences need to start with capital letters and end with a punctuation mark.

v A word must be spelled correctly if it is in a “wordbank”. For example, on the Reading worksheets, all the words for the fill-ins were at the top of the page. These words must be spelled correctly when written on the test.

v Spelling words need to be spelled correctly on all assignments.

v We need to proof-read our work before we turn it in.

v If any of these “rules” are broken, the question will be counted wrong or points will be taken off.

Please, please, please if you ever have any concerns, come see me immediately. Even if it seems like something small. Or send me an email. The sooner I hear of concerns, whether it’s with me or a student, the sooner we can take care of it.

Thanks and have a great weekend!!!
