We will be adding to our list tomorrow.
I hope that everyone has had a good weekend! Please remember that book talks are due tomorrow for all of 7th grade and most of sixth grade. If you do not have your book talk, index cards, and collage tomorrow, points will be taken off for lateness.
Please make sure that you come to class ready for testing tomorrow.We will only be taking the Reading portion of the test; the Language portion will be taken in Social studies. Get a good night’s sleep, eat a good breakfast, and I’ll see everyone in the morning. You will only need to bring your planner.
Here is the grading rubric for the Summer Book Talk:

I hope everyone has had a restful weekend. We will be participating in NWEA testing on Wednesday and Thursday this week. We will take the Reading portion on Wednesday and the Language portion on Thursday. Please make sure to get a lot of sleep the nights before the tests and to have a good breakfast and/or lunch to help you do your best.
Please remember to bring a book to read tomorrow for Silent Reading Time. Sixth grade has already visited the media center, so they do have books to read. First hour seventh grade, you will go to the media center tomorrow to choose your books. Second hour seventh grade, we will not have the media center because you will be at the PBIS assembly. Please bring a book from home or borrow one of mine for Tuesday.
Because our week is so busy, we will begin our Summer Book Talks on Monday, September 18. I have attached the requirements that you received back in June and we will briefly review it in class on Monday. I will also be grading your Moby Max assignments that were to be completed over the summer.

You should start seeing grades in Parent and Student Connect toward the end of this week. I will usually update the grades on the weekends, so make sure to check and see if anything is missing.
We are progressing in learning the routines and class rules. Now, it is time to begin our studies!
The absolute last day I will accept the Who Am I poster is on Monday, September 11. Students who need to glue their poster to the yellow paper may do so Monday morning. Second period seventh grade also has a small assignment for the weekend that is due first thing Monday morning.
All students should have their supplies by Monday. We are going to begin working in our interactive notebooks. If anyone is having difficulty obtaining their supplies, please contact me as soon as possible.
I look forward to seeing everyone at Open House on Wednesday, September 13th! We will be open from 3:30 pm-5:00 pm.
Here is our basic syllabus for the class. Please review it and contact me if you have any questions.
There is no homework tonight. 🙂
