Welcome to my class!

Class Overview

I am very excited to be your teacher this year! We will be reading and writing a multitude of pieces throughout the year and will be discussing many interesting topics. Check up top to see your specific class and our learning objectives for the year.

I go by a multitude of quotes and mantras, but the most important to me is "The fun is in the work" and I hope that by the end of this year, you too will live by that quote! 

Please know that I am always here for you, and one of my many goals as your teacher is to teach AND learn from you! I plan to foster an environment filled with mutual respect, safety, and inclusivity. Let's work together to create the best classroom environment possible!

Expectations

I have very high expectations for each and every one of you, and I hope that you have high expectations of me. With that being said, here are some rules I have for you when you walk into the class come September 6th. We will make a class contract that we all agree upon during our first week together. 

1. Be Prepared 

a.  Bring your CHARGED Chromebook and a charger

b. Bring a pencil/something to write with

c.  A notebook OR a binder with paper

d. A sturdy pocket folder

2. Be Kind -- You never know what someone is going through. Ask yourself, "Would I want someone to say this to me?" If not, DON'T SAY IT! 

3. Prioritize your time in class -- I want to give as LITTLE homework as possible. HOWEVER, if you do not complete your work in class, you will have to complete it for homework! 

4. Ask questions! I am here to help and to clarify any confusing topics.
