Welcome to the 2019-2020 School Year!
Welcome to my Webpage! My name is Ms. Steed and I am the English Language Arts teacher for 8th grade. I am very excited to get this school year started, and I look forward to working with parents, staff, and the surrounding community to best meet the needs of each and every student. We have much to accomplish this year, and I solicit the support of each student's family to ensure that we EXCEED EXPECTATIONS! Every year we get BETTER and ths year is no exception! Our curriculum this year is based on 4 themes, Unitt 1: Dramatically Speaking, Unit 2: Looking Back at the Past, Unit 3: The City and the Country, and Unit 4: The Road Not Taken. Some of the texts we will be reading this year are A Raisin in the Sun, 145th Street, and To Kill a Mockingbird. My goal is to equip my 8th graders with the skills necessary to be successful in high school and beyond. I am preparing my students for GREATNESS! Won't you join me?!? Please make note of pertinent information below for school uniforms, supplies, and important dates.
If you have any ideas, suggestions, comments or concerns, please feel free to email me, call me, or send me a note! I look forward to hearing from you! Let's work together!!!
