Hello and welcome to our 7/8 grade LA Class Website for Mr. Lakes' class. I'm excited to get the year started and meet all of you. I know we will have a great year with lots of fun, learning, and progress.

 

First off, in our class we use a class magazine called SCOPE. It's full of great informational articles, interesting stories, and activities that will help us learn the skills we need throughout the year in 7th and 8th grade. Students and Parents may access this magazine from home online by using the following link. I will post this each week here, so it will be easy to access.

 

the password is: lakes80 (it's all one word no caps) 

 

Every week, usually Mondays, I will post the in-class plan for the week and also post the assignments on the assignments page.
