Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Grade 7's!
I hope you have had a fun and relaxing break so far! This is a reminder to bring your homework package with you on Monday. We will be spending quite a bit of our day going over it, marking it, and sharing it with one another.
Also, remember that I will be looking for age appropriate novels for silent reading starting Monday - no more Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Geronimo Stilton, or comic books. This weekend would be a great time to hit the library and check out some new silent reading and reading log books.
Have a great weekend and I'll see you all on Monday!
