Welcome Parents and Students,
Introduction:
Welcome back!! It is my sincere hope that you enjoyed your Summer Break and are refreshed and ready to begin your journey as a 7th grader at Loranger Middle School. Go Wolves!
My name Mrs. Joiner, I am a proud member of the Loranger Community and an alumni of Loranger High School. My husband, Kyle Joiner, and myself are the proud parents of a happy, busy four year old and four month old, Nathan and Finley. A dog and two cats make up the rest of our family. I am an avid reader and a superfan of the Marvel Universe and Star Wars. My all time favorite book is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I look forward to getting to know all of my 7th grade students this year and learning about your favorite things.
This year will be reading, analyzing and writing about various informational and literary works. The unit titles are listed below.
Unit 1: Written in Bone
Unit 2: The Giver
Unit 3: Behind the Scenes
Unit 4: Memoir
Grading Scale:
A - 100 - 93
B - 92 - 85
C - 84 - 75
D - 74 - 67
F - 66 - 0
It is my sincere hope, that each student be the best that they can be, my grading policy reflects this hope. A student may re-do and/or correct most assignments in order to earn the best grade possible. This, however, does not include tests and socratic seminar grades. Students have ONE WEEK, from the time their grade is posted to re-do and/or complete these assignments.
Homework Policy:
As a general rule, I do not assign homework. However, assignments that are not completed in class within the expected time frame, do indeed become homework.
I will provide individualized instruction for each student based on their strengths and weaknesses in ELA. These assignments will be provided as early finishers and as part of regular class time and could also become homework assignments if not completed.
Extra practice can be provided at parent request, if they believe their child needs any additional practice.
Reading and Writing, similarly to math, should be practiced often!!!
