This blog will be one of the ways we can communicate this school year. Your main point of classroom communication will be Google Classroom. If you have not done so already, please join our class:
Google Classroom
5atz6x2
Today you will be using this blog and an Emaze Presentation to learn about our class while I take some time to get to know you.
Once you get into Google Classroom, open up the Emaze.
Then, open up the Google Form called Grade 8 Language Arts Orientation.
This orientation will inform you of my expectations.
Answer the questions in the form using this blog and the Emaze. You may work as a team with the people in your group. Choose one person from the group as the name on the form, or create a team name.
These are the supplies you will need for this class:
1 Three Subject Notebook
- Grammar
- Reading Strategies
- Greek and Latin Roots
2 Two-pocket Folders
- Writing
- Reading Circles
- Writer's Notebook
Two pencils sharpened before entering class or a pen.
Have all supplies by Monday.
