Welcome to 7th Grade!

Hello, everyone! I hope you will be excited about sharing your ideas regarding your independent reading. I am hoping that this year, reading journals can transform into an online reading community of students sharing ideas. The options are endless: students can share book ideas, find common likes (and dislikes!) related to reading, help each other make meaning out of books, and ask thoughtful questions about the characters, settings, and situations they encounter, and make connections across different texts. We will be working together to get this off the ground in these first few weeks, and if you encounter difficulties or have suggestions please let me know. We hope to be setting up blogs and co comment accounts at the end of this week.
