Welcome to our new classroom!
Welcome to 7th Grade Literacy.  Hopefully you have had a great summer and are ready to begin a new chapter in your life as a middle school student.
We will be reading lots of books this year in my class.  I am adding new books to my classroom library so that you will have lots of choices to suit your reading preferences. 
This year we are fortunate enough to have a student intern from the University of Arkansas with us for the first ten weeks.  Her name is Raechel Sullivan.  She will be working with the students and assuming some of the teaching duties in a few weeks.  

Some important dates to remember this first 9 Weeks:
Sept. 7 - First Reading Deadline (students should have passed at least one AR book test)
Sept. 27 - Third Reading Deadline (students should have passed at least three AR book tests)
Oct. 15 - Final Reading Deadline (students should have passed at least five AR book tests)
Oct. 26 - Parent-Teacher Conferences
