Parents Spot

Welcome to my parent page.  I am going to give you an overview of the Language Arts program  which consists of reading and writing.

We will be reading an array of short stories both fiction and non-fiction, poetry, essays and novels.  

Writing genres consist of personal narratives, explanatory, poetry, persuasive and argumentative essays.

Some of the academic programs/sites I will be utilizing are as follows:

Newsela

IXL

Brainpop

Flocabulary

CommonLIt

Readworks

Ed Puzzle

Nearpod

TED Talk

I will also be incorporating activities for social emotional well-being.

Some things I will be emphasizing in my  classroom are critical thinking skills, close reading and discussions through the use of TED Talks and Article of the Week.

I realize this will be a difficult beginning of the year for students, parents and teachers but with patience, humor and hard work we will get through this together.
