Welcome to Mrs. House's Webpage Vision Statement All students can learn if they are provided with a secure, challenging learning environment and can be empowered to achieve their greastest potential if parents, educators, and community members work cooperatively. Mission Statement We,the faculty and staff of Knox Middle School, are committed to helping all students become well-rounded in the areas of academics, technology,social skills, and emotional needs. We also understand the need to employ a variety of instructional strategies to appeal to students'unique learning styles. We believe that students, teachers, staff.administrators, parents, and other community members have shared responsibility in making our school environment conducive to learning in the 21st century, and we will work toward this cooperative effort. Course Description 6th and 7th grade students use oral language, written language, and other media andtechnology for expressive, informational, argumentative, critical, andliterary purposes. They continue to refine their study of language andgrammar in order to speak and write effectively. Although emphasisin on 6th and 7th grade is placed on using information for a specfic task,students will also do the following: express individual perspectives through analysis and personal response, refine their understanding and use of argument, critically analyze print and non-print communication,interpret and evaluate a wide range of literature, and use effectivesentence construction and edit for improvements in sentence formation,usage, mechanics, and spelling. Students in the 6th and 7th grade shall demonstrate proficiency by having test scores at Level III on the end-of-grade test in reading and math. EC has incorporated a Language Program that will increase those scores. I have been testing students to be placed in either book A or C. Also, we have been instructed to introduce a WordSkill Program that will help students identify prefixes and sufixes of root words. This technique will increase the students' knowledge of their vocabulary. In math, 6th and 7th grade students will be assessed by using the Aplus math .com. This will allow identification of the students strenghts and weknesses and a road map for future lesson plans. Classroom Expectations 1. Be in your seat 2. Bring all books and material to class. 3.
