7th grade English
Wow!  Can you believe it's already November!  This year has really flown by!  We've been focusing on expository/non-fiction text for the last couple weeks. And, now we'll be writing our own.  Each student is responsible for creating a time line of thier life in comparison to main world events.  In addition, continue to watch for weekly spelling assignments and extra AR reading help will do well.

Mon - Work on Timeline with Parents / rule #1 spelling / 30 minutes of Study Island due Friday
Tues - Finish Timeline / rule #2 spelling
Wed - Work on introduction to Autobiography / rule #3 spelling
Thur - Work on Paragraph 1 of Autobiography / review and study spelling
