Welcome home students, parents and colleagues! The responsibility of building a learning community in which students flourish belongs to all of us. The core purpose of Ms. Jones's English Language Arts Classroom website is to assist with the tasks of learning and teaching. This website was created to link students, parents and teachers to pertinent and valuable information.  Students: Click on Grade 6, Grade 7, or Grade 8 for information about your class, and some fun things to do! Parents: Use your page to find information about curriculum, and important links to LMS, SIS, and the RIS website. Use the grade level tabs to find specifics about what your student is studying. Teachers: Use your page to find links to lesson planning websites and professional teaching organizations. I joyously await your questions, comments and suggestions! You may reach me at writegirl80@yahoo.com. Sincerely, Jaclyn Jones, Rainbow International School Middle School ELA Teacher  |  What is English Language Arts? ELA consists of four strands: 1.
