LHR 7th Grade At-Home Learning
Week 1 - March 23-27, 2020
Weekly Welcome Message
Let's begin by saying how much we miss all of our students and families! When we left for Spring Break, we did not expect to be away from you all for this long. On very short notice, our administrators and teachers jumped into action to make a workable plan and a pathway for our students to continue learning.
Parents & guardians, we look to you now to commit yourselves to help prepare your child for success. Your teachers are only a phone call away and each teacher will have assigned "office hours" during which they will be available for live video. It's still a great day to be an LHR Indian!
Each week's assignments start on Monday and are due on Sunday night. Each Monday a new set of assignments will be posted. Your child should spend a couple hours each day working on completing these assignments.
[If you have Mrs. Frazier, Ms. Winkels, Mrs. Gordon, Mrs Cox or Mr. Parker - you will have a PAPER packet each week that is personalized for you.]

During this first week of at home learning, in 7th Grade Science, we will be reviewing an important topic from this year, CELLS. Your assignments will be posted in Google Classroom, ultimately taking you to StemScopes for your main assignments, in addition to other assignments that will support your learning. Your grade will primarily come from the StemScopes assignments. If you do not do well on your assignments the first time, you will have the opportunity to redo that assignment only 1 time.
