Language Arts and Reading

Welcome to my Language Arts and Reading website!

First, I would like to express the excitement I have for this upcoming school year. I look forward to building a classroom together where everyone feels welcome and safe and one where we learn from one another. Everyone has a unique perspective that will add to our classroom’s character and I expect all of us to respect one another's perspectives, characters, and thoughts.

This year 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students will be expanding their perspectives and abilities through reading and writing, as well as building upon their vocabularies. This class will combine the study of grammar, spelling, writing instruction, reading comprehension and analysis using a variety of tools. In each trimester, students will have opportunities to read short texts and longer novels of different genres. Titles chosen are challenging for the grade level. They include, but are not limited to: Short stories, Drama, Memoirs, Poetry, Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Sports Fiction, Nonfiction, News Articles, and many more.
