Welcome to 7th grade Language Arts!

I am ridiculously excited to meet you!! I'm hoping you read this ahead of time as you get to know me, what Language Arts is all about and what to expect the first day. Know that you're in good hands with me. My goals are to help you increase your reading and writing skills AND feel safe and have fun in my classroom. Yes, Language Arts can be FUN and I work hard to create a brain-friendly, active, creative classroom.

First of all...
Please come to our combination open house/back-to-school night: Teacher and Treats Tuesday!!! See invite below. I'll be there to meet you in person and introduce to my classroom and expectations.

 

Flexible Seating: My classroom will look different to you. I believe that different kids learn in different way, so I've transformed my classroom to have seating to help your brain work better and give you some movement.

For the first week, you'll choose a different seat each day.

On Friday, you'll give me your top 3 choices and I'll make a seating chart. 

This will be your seat for the trimester. You'll also be in small "teams" where you earn points to earn a big end-of-trimester party:)

Please browse the PAGES on the right of this post. Learn about me, see the disclosure, learn about our reading program, etc. There is a lot of information, but take your time to familiarize yourself with the blog. I do weekly posts, put up photos, etc. You don't need to print off anything, I'll give you all the forms you need, AND a composition book (it will be your Reader/Writer notebook) when school starts.

For real, this will be your BEST year yet of school (and most certainly in Language Arts!). Please email me with questions and I'll see you on Tuesday.
