Introduction

Welcome

This promises to be an extraordinary school year! I am delighted to teach Creative Writing and Career Exploration this semester at Dr. Phinnize J. Fisher Middle School.  I have spent over three decades in education,  and I  believe that children deserve the best we can offer them.

 I aim to ensure that all my students know I care about them as individuals and learners. I want them to become life-long, enthusiastic learners and effective communicators. I hope to share a contagious love for learning and nurture my students in the learning process. Specific achievement goals include enhancing creative writing skills and exploring career opportunities.

 Instruction will be based on the Greenville County Schools Curriculum Guide, the South Carolina ELA Curriculum, and the CTE Standards. These standards can be accessed on the SC Department of Education website. All students will begin the class period with a bell ringer that includes a grammar review of syntax and mechanics. I will modify instruction to engage students based on their learning styles and interests.

Thank you in advance for ensuring your child is in class on time and ready to learn in an engaging and positive environment! I appreciate your help and look forward to working with you and your child!
