Welcome to Mr. Roper's 7th Grade Class Blog!

What's up?

My name is Mr. Roper and I teach a 7th grade class at Capitol School in Phoenix, Arizona. I've created this blog as a place where my students can come to check for important messages, post questions about homework or assignments, and show off their outstanding work throughout the year. We will also post images from field trips and activities that students can share with their friends and family. Finally this blog will also help my students learn valuable technology skills that they will need throughout their careers. It should be an exciting project that will evolve throughout the year!

I hope that parents and family members wil also help and support our students with this project by providing feedback on student work and contributions to the blog. I would greatly appreciate help from parents who would be able to translate posts for our Spanish-speaking readers. This will allow everyone to enjoy the work produced by our students!

I look forward to working with many of my returning 6th graders as well as new students who will be joining us at Capitol. This year will be an exciting time as our school is going through many changes and expanding to meet the needs of our community. We are also adding a new program of elective Friday Clubs which will let our students demonstrate their talents in many new ways including Student Council, Conflict Management, Business, News and many more!

There is much more to prepare for and the summer is going by fast! I will update this blog frequently as we approach the new year. Have fun, stay safe, and NEVER STOP LEARNING!
