Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer Barnes and I teach 6th grade Language Arts at Martha Vinyard Elementary School.
I am so excited to be a part of the Vinyard family and I can't wait to get to know each of my students.
This year we have some really exciting reading material.
We will read Hatchet by Gary Paulson, Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, a Stanford University Commencement Speech performed by Steve Jobs, and If Stones Could Speak by Marc Aronson.
It is always beneficial for students to reread the texts at home to deepen their understanding and their reading levels.
I hope each of the families of students in my classes will reach out. Email is the easiest way to contact me: [email protected] and if we need to set a conference I would love the opportunity to sit down with you and work on some plans to help your child be successful in my course.
Let's have a great year, and remember: "We're Stonger Together!"
