TUESDAY'S AFTER SCHOOL HELP

To help students I will be holding an after-school "reading and homework club" from 2-3 PM each Tuesday. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that your student attend if he/she has an NP or needs to complete any assignment, including any i-Reads.

Students may bring non-messy snacks to munch on while they work.

The purpose of this time is to help your student get and stay caught-up in class. They will have access to a phone at 3, so you can provide a ride for them.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Together, I know we can help your student succeed.

What we'll be doing in Lanugage Arts

Our 7th Grade Language Arts class is an exciting course based on the Utah Standards. Standards require students to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively. They will "read stories and literature, as well as more complex texts that provide facts and background knowledge in areas such as science and social studies. Students will be challenged and asked questions that push them to refer back to what they've read (in a variety of written responses, including narrative, argumentative, and explanatory), stressing critical thinking, problem-solving and analytical skills that read required for success in college, career, and life"(http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy)
