Welcome to Ms. Ohl's classoom! I teach Learning strategies and intensive reading. Our main focus will be reinforcing skills needed to be successful in core content. Also, your child will focus on literacy which includes reading and expression (writing and speaking/communicating). Not only will your child be reading novels, short stories, plays, articles, and poetry, he/she will also be engaging in writing, speaking, and possibly even performance activities. In addition, the theme this year is Empowerment and my primary goal is to empower your child to use his/her skills to make the world a better place while having a great time and learning in my classroom.

My name is Sherry Ohl and I have been teaching for 8 years. I love being a teacher! I have been here at Murdock for two years (this is my third year here) and prior to Murdock I taught in New York State. My mission as a teacher is to help your child believe in his/herself and strive to be their best.

Great news! We are a Google Classroom again this year. What does this mean? To be a Google Classroom, this means that each student has a Chromebook (like a mini laptop) to use during class. Lessons will be in Google Classroom and students will work on the Chromebooks to access Google Classroom and complete assignments and activities. They will also be able to conduct research this way and can collaborate with one another for peer reviews and small group activities. We used Google Classroom last year and my students as well as their parents loved it!
