WELCOME!!!

I would like to welcome you to my Jr. High ELA class!  I will be teaching your child English Language Arts this year.  I have planned an exciting and fun year for your child to learn and appreciate ELA.  I have high expectations for my students and do not accept anything less.  We will be reading many novels throughout the year and I expect my students to also continue to read other books and to participate in the Accelerated Reader Program. 

Your child will be responsible for at least 3-4 reading novel assignments (on their own), one each 9 weeks.  I do not give a lot of homework, but I do expect the students to study for quizzes and exams that will be given throughout the year in my class. 

As a parent myself, I understand that you may need to discuss your child's progress and/or behavior.  You may contact me at the school or you can email me at [email protected].  I will try to get back with you as quickly as I can.  I am very excited about teaching your child and look forward to a wonderful and enjoyable year!  I appreciate all of your support and I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your child's education.
