Students will engage in critical thinking and expression, hands-on learning, and literacy development while exploring both Maine and our greater world.

Language Arts 8
Welcome to the 8th grade Language Arts page. This year the 8th grade will develop an autobiographical portfolio that will showcase numerous styles of writing and expression ranging from narrative prose to persuasive text. This work is an 8th grade tradition that allows students to capture a moment in time while developing their sense of voice and self. Attention to grammar and mechanics will be present through out the whole process. The portfolio is a challenging process and demands a lot of time and work from the students, but the final product is always a joy and an accomplishment for the each member of the class. Please be sure to check back for important announcements, digital hand-outs, and daily homework assignments. I am looking forward to a great year of learning with you all.
HOMEWORK:
DUE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14:
Spelling Unit 1 HW and Quiz. Please complete pages 9, 10, the top half of 11, 12, and 13.

Language Arts 7
Welcome to the 7th grade Language Arts page. I am looking forward to this year as it will be the first time that I have had many of you in my class. I am excited to see how we all grow and learn together and expect that we will have a lot of fun on the way. We will explore many different styles of writing throughout the year and we will be sure to focus on the development of grammar and mechanics as we develop our writing voice. Please be sure to check back for important announcements, digital hand-outs, and daily homework assignments. It is important to note that homework will be posted here instead of the schoolnotes page that the middle school has used in the past. I am looking forward to a great year of learning with you all.

Please be sure to return all surveys ASAP.
DUE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13:
