A Peak at Next Week 8/31/07

Next week we will be reading our first short story, “Seventh Grade” by Gary Soto. After reading the book, we will be working on a few projects in class. We will also be starting our Wordskills Workbook in Reading. We will begin Unit 1 on Tuesday, and we will have our test on Friday, Sept. 7th. We will be working out of our Wordskills book every other week.

In Language Arts we will be learning about the subjects and predicates of sentences. We will also continue to write in our journals everyday.

I had a wonderful first week getting to know everyone, and I look forward to many more. Have a wonderful weekend!

Welcome Back!



Welcome to Seventh Grade
Language Arts!


I hope everyone's summer went well. My name is Mrs. Mastny and I am the new 7th grade langauge arts teacher. I taught the last three years at Alphonsus Academy in Chicago. I just recently moved from Chicago to Downers Grove. I am looking forward to starting the school year with you all. This year we will be working on essay writing, poetry, and we will be discussing novels in our literature circles. I look forward to meeting you all at our open house!
