Parent Visitation Day is Wednesday, 9/19, and Student Led Conferences are right around the corner...before you know it the end of the first trimester will be here--November 2nd. Take a moment to check in with your teachers to see how you are doing in all of your classes, not just Language Arts. I want you to be successful all around, so take a moment this week to make sure you have turned in all of your assignments and taken all assessments.
Speaking of checking in...you should have all received your Aeires Parent Portal passwords. Visit this site regularly to see what grades have been posted. Believe it or not, teachers make mistakes, so be sure to check in with us to let us know if you find an error...but be nice about it! :)
Now on to the next hot talk topic, assessments. We got our first graded quizzes back in Language Arts. If you scored over 18--yay! You are proficient or advanced! Whooo hooo! If you scored below 18, you need to see me about retaking the quiz until you are proficient. Re-study those Cornell notes, have a friend quiz you, and prove your knowledge!
Remember there is a spelling quiz this week on Wednesday...so study, study, study. Copy the most difficult words to spell at least 7 times each until you know them by heart. These words for the first unit are relatively easy, but there are a few humdingers in there...so be prepared! Keep up with your Blue Ch. 1 Packets. The final packet is worth 140 big points--so stick with us! By Wednesday you should have finished pages 1-2 and 4-10. Don't let yourself get behind!
If you are beginning to feel overwhelmed at all in any of your classes, especially in Language Arts, that is normal, but feel free to talk to me and I will help you get back on track. Hang in there, 7th graders (and parents!).
