Reading Requirement for 4th Quarter: 8 Books
Welcome to 7th Grade Reading
I am a firm believer that the only way to become a better reader is to READ... a lot! I will be following Donalyn Miller's (author of The Book Whisperer) approach to reading which is incredibly simple yet produces lifelong readers.
So this year in reading... you got it, we will be reading!
Students, get ready to increase your reading stamina.
We will be reading between 30 and 40 books this year.
I hope that this website will serve as a useful link between school and home. Please use the links to the left to learn about our classroom, and keep up-to-date on the happenings of our class.
In addition to this website, the 7th grade team also has a Facebook page. It is not a personal Facebook page. You don't have to have a Facebook account to get the information. Just bookmark this link: https://www.facebook.com/MrsWallaceAtEastMiddleSchool. If you have a Facebook account, you can search for ''EMS 7th grade" - OR click the Facebook button ('f') at the top of this website - and like the page. After doing so, you will receive information and updates in your normal Facebook feed.
