Welcome to 8th grade RELA!Let’s go over some basics /
procedures so you can know what to expect and what I expect.
(These notes will be kept in your RELA notebook.)
What is RELA?In RELA, we strengthen some key
reading / language arts concepts.
We read.
We will read a minimum of 10 – 15 minutes a day (today’s reading is a whole group activity with these notes).
MY READING SUMMER FAVES
We read:• You start reading as soon as you walk
in
• Some days we will all walk in and read the same thing
• If you brought something to read, great
• The bookshelves are ready for you if you didn’t
The only way you become a reader is by reading.
Your summer reading project is due September 11th.
• YOU can expect:• To READ (choice is
important- you will read a lot of texts that you select by yourself or from sets that I recommend)
• To WRITE• You need a composition
book, Post It Notes, & Earbuds
• KNOWSYS • Reading multiple texts at a
time
You will receive a pencil without an eraser from me.
Give it back

TARDIES:To avoid confusion:

To avoid confusion:
*There is no negotiating a tardy.

attention• Discussion is made under
direction of the teacher
