Language Arts This week we are launching into good reading habits. Each student has an assigned day to present a 2-3 minute book talk over one of their summer reading books. I sent home instructions and a rubric last week. We will also work on setting goals, remembering good reading habits, and building reading stamina. Feel free to talk to your student about what they are reading at home, too! Homework: Find an independent reading book if you don’t have one. I’m happy to help with suggestions. 30 minutes of reading a day is expected in 7th grade. Be prepared to talk and write about what you’ve been reading. Email me at andrews_s@hcde.org |
