English Language Arts is the study of reading, writing, speaking and listening. These critical skills form a solid foundation for communication, so that we can be successful both in our future careers and in our daily lives. I hope you all had a restful summer and are coming to school ready to think critically, develop your writing skills further, and read some excellent books. I'm looking forward to our class discussions, our humanities blend, and heading out to some great field study sites for the 23-24 WATER themed school year!
