READING CLASSES GRADES 7 & 8
Students must have a single subject notebook
for Reading class. This notebook will be checked 1 week before the end of
each marking period. Notebooks are worth 50 points. All students
must come to class prepared with their notebook, pencil or pen, and additional
independent reading material. Reading books remain in the class room; however, students may sign out a book at the end of
class to take home.
Grade 8 students have reading on alternate
days; therefore, students are made aware in advance of due dates for
worksheets, quizzes, tests, etc. I strongly suggest students use their
planners to keep track of their reading assignments.
Please contact me with any questions or
concerns about Reading class. I will get back to you as quickly as I can.
May the force be with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
