Hello Parents/Guardians,
We are off to a great start in 7th grade Language Arts. I just have a few items to remind you about.
First of all, Book to Film Permission Forms are due on
Friday, August 31st. If students turn
them in early, they will receive an additional entry into our monthly drawing.
Second, I know several students have been out of school due
to illness. Please remind them to check
either the blog or their planner to see what they have missed and come talk to
me before or after school to pick up their missing work. While I don't want your student to fall
behind, they do need to be responsible enough to check with me and make up
missing work.
Third, if your student has a library fine, they will be
texting/emailing or calling you on Wednesday during our library time to remind
you to remind them to pay the fine and/or turn in their book. All students are working towards a reward for
bringing a book to read at the library each week and remaining fine-free.
Finally, this Friday is our in-class Gecko Day!! Gecko time takes place the last half hour of
each class period. Because the trimester has just started, everyone will
participate in our activity. From here
on out, if your student has fallen behind or has a "U" or
"I" in the class, they will attend a remediation class with one of
the 7th grade Language Arts teachers where they will receive extra help. Students who are doing well academically and
in their citizenship grade will participate in a fun activity related to each
class subject. This week each class
voted to have a Read-A-Thon. Please know
they are allowed to bring snacks, their favorite book, a small pillow or
blanket and even music to listen too as they read. Their half hour of reading in class will
count towards their daily reading.
Please remind your student if they have Utah-in-the-News this week (a list has been posted), I will make assignments for next Friday this week.
I am enjoying working with your student!! They are fantastic kids with a lot of
potential. Thank you for your continued
support; please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns. I also invite you to check the class blog:

Best,
