Welcome to Mrs. Venello's Class Homepage!!!
Use this page to keep updated on what is going on in our classroom.
The 2018-2019 school year is going to be a great one! I look forward to working with all of my new 7th & 8th grade students!
Some tips that can be utilized at home to help students to be successful in Language Arts are as follows:
*Discuss with your child what was done in class on a daily basis, i.e. skills worked on, stories read, etc.
*Study weekly word study (vocabulary) with your child and look for the words being used in the world around you.
*Reread what was read in class, stories, articles or review chapters that were read in their novels.
*Ask your child questions about what he or she is reading including stories from the anthology or library books.
*Share what you are reading with your child or read together.
*Read and edit your child's writing with them.
*Encourage independent reading and writing for pleasure.
*Discuss upcoming projects with your child and help them to plan accordingly.
*Model good reading and writing practices for your child through reading and writing yourself.
I want to take a second to express my gratitude and appreciation for being chosen as "2009 Educator of the Year" by the Mason's Lodge-Excelsior Chapter. It is a great honor and I couldn't have done it without the wonderful students, parents, faculty, and administration that I've been privileged to work with.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. I know that by working together we can make the 2017-2018 school year a success!
