I’m thrilled to be teaching 6th grade ELA. It is my goal the students learn skills and habits that will make them successful in everyday life. Reading and writing are two of my greatest passions and I hope to share that with my students. Each of these skills is essential for life-long learning. Not only does reading help us gather information to make informed decisions in life, but it is a source of enjoyment and personal fulfillment. Reading and learning to read well will be a major concentration in my class.
Writing helps in communication and is a crucial skill that can aid the student both personally and professionally. Writing makes us better thinkers. It not only helps us convey our thoughts, but it helps us to think clearly and logically. Students that read and write well will be successful in school, in career, and in life.
"ParentSquare"
To keep you informed about upcoming quizzes, tests, and other important information, I will be using "ParentSquare." If your child is enrolled in my class, and you've signed up for ParentSquare you will receive my messages.
AGENDA
Each day's agenda will be written on the board. It can also be found by going to the "calendar" on my website.
The agenda includes schoolwork for that day, and any upcoming due dates for tests and projects. Not all assignments are in Google Classroom, so my website is the best place to start if your child misses any days of school. I highly suggest students get in the habit of keeping a personal agenda, be it digital or paper.
PARENTS
I believe that a child's parent is their first and most influential teacher, and I'd like to communicate with the parents as often as possible. If you or your child would like to conference with me, I'd be happy to set up an appointment that works for both of us.
