Novel Unit (O.L. Smith Middle School)

Sunday, April 12, 2020

Welcome back! I hope you had a restful break. I am very excited to jump into our novel unit. I sent out an email with the book titles that the my seventh and eighth graders will be reading. Moving forward, things will look a little different, but I truly think students will enjoy this novel adventure. Students will have Monday-Sunday to work on the week’s assignment.

Our class structure will be very consistent over the next six weeks.  I will provide a daily schedule for you to work on OR you can create your own schedule.  Your schedule is your choice and what works best for you and your family.
