Homework - Grade 7 English
*Please note: I am a big believer in second (and beyond) chances. I also believe it is important to instill and develop good work habits, time management, responsibility, and accountability in students. So, if a student wishes to submit late work he/she must have the 'Late Submission Request Form' printed, signed by a parent, and stapled to the assignment.
Thank you for your support instilling accountability and independence in our children! :)

- READING - Books, books, books!! We do a lot of reading in grade 7! Students are expected to have a JUST-RIGHT novel in class daily!
- WRITING - We do a lot of writing in grade 7! I want each of my students to be as successful as possible. I still value pen and paper - we are not a paperless society, yet - and strive for a balance between paper and technology. We will use the Chromebooks a lot! That said, some students require more resources (technology) than others to reach success. Please be patient early on as I get to know each student and what works best for them. Thanks! :)
