Hello! Welcome to 7th grade! My name is Joanne Comerford and I teach 7th and 8th grade reading, and 7th grade language arts. Students who attend my reading class can expect to do just what the subject area suggests—READ! We will be reading a number of novels, short stories and plays together that have been selected by Mrs. Mazzeo and myself that should peak the interests of even the most stubborn of readers! Everyone will work towards better understanding through reader responses, classroom discussions, literature circles, and reading workshops.
In language arts, students will be participating in in a number of writing workshops where students will learn the editing and revising process as well as a variety of writing techniques and styles. In addition to Writing Workshop, students will work throughout the year on improving spelling/vocabulary skills and grammar.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child or your child’s progress, please do not hesitate to call me at 742-7334 (ext. 391). You may also contact me by E-mail by clicking the E-mail icon on the top right-hand corner of the page.
