Week of December 12-16, 2016

Welcome to the last week of the first semester!!!! Time sure has flown by.  I am extremely proud of all my 7th grade reading students on our district benchmark #1 results.  97% passing and 22% Level III is something to be very proud of.  We still have a lot of work to do before the STAAR exam but I am more than sure we will meet our goal.

This week in 7th grade Reading we will continue to work on our novel 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' by JK Rowling.  We will be playing a jeopardy review game on Monday to prepare us for the novel exam on Tuesday.  We will also be watching the film version of the novel.  We will be able to see everything from the novel come to life and we will also be able to compare and contrast the novel and the film.  I hope all of you enjoyed reading this novel as much as I have.

REMINDERS:

•  Wear a ugly Christmas Sweater on Friday!
• Toy drive ends on Wednesday!
