What's Going on in 7th Grade English/Language Arts
with Ms. KPS
Week of: March 1-5, 2021
Dear Learners and Stakeholders,
Welcome to the SYLLABUS page for our 7th Grade English/Language Arts course! I am your happy, happy facilitator of learning, Ms. Kimberly "KPS" Perry Sanderlin. You can learn a little bit more about your instructor HERE.
We will use this SYLLABUS as our weekly/daily game plan for the course. Thanks to the ingenuity of Canvas, this is the only public page in the course; allowing us to utilize the Syllabus as our website/daily agenda for the course. Because of this, it is recommended that you BOOKMARK this page's URL address (http://bit.ly/7thELA_Syllabus_KPS), and come back to it if you are in need of direction for your (or your child's) learning path for the course.
