Welcome to 7th Grade Language Arts! Here, we focus on building strong relationships and challenging students to achieve high expectations in writing and reading. Our curriculum includes expository and persuasive essays, grammar and vocabulary studies, and literature explorations with texts like "The Little Prince" and "A Christmas Carol." Stay informed through our SharePoint for announcements, assignments, and grades. We encourage parent communication via email and invite volunteers for our literary circles starting mid-January. Thank you for your support!
