This year in ELA we will be exploring three different topics: Latin American Folklore, Food Choices and Voices of the Holocaust. Students will be reading Summer of the Mariposas, Omnivore's Dilemma, and MAUS. Students will participate in close reading activities, complete constructed responses and write essays based off of our shared texts and other resources we explore and discuss during class. Students will typically receive homework assignments on Mondays and Tuesdays and these will be due Fridays and count toward a HOW grade. I use the app "Talking Points" to communicate, so please feel free to message me with any questions and concerns.

The Arts Program at Tapestry Charter School

We are excited to announce that Tapestry Charter Middle School will be combined arts with rotation throughout the year. Our Middle School Art Team has developed a comprehensive curriculum which all students will partake in. 

This curriculum will allow all students to sample exploratory learning and develop new skills: physical, social, and thinking. The units in each of the arts classes is designed to challenge students’ problem solving and critical thinking skills to foster a greater sense of self-esteem through creativity and expression.
