ANDOVER

Welcome to 7^th Grade Language Arts with Mrs. Hobbs…

My goal is for students to explore and contribute to their education through the power of words.  Whether we are reading or writing, my goal is to challenge each student to push themselves and expand their abilities throughout the year.  Everyone has a different starting point, but the goal is to be better than we were when we started! Our theme for this year:  Just okay is NOT okay!

We will cover:  Reading skills

                      Speaking and Listening Skills

                      Novel Studies / Analysis

                      Collaboration and Real-World Skills

                       Writing (Grammar, Spelling, Vocabulary)

                      Text Types and Text Structures

My Expectations:  Best Effort at all times

                           Respect for others – Staff and Peers

                           Self Reflection of work and behavior

                           Accountability
