Welcome Back!

WELCOME BACK!

It's hard to believe that our three month summer break is over, but I am excited to begin the new year.  Just a little about me, this is my 6th year of teaching and I'm back in language arts after two years teaching a reading class. I am a wife and mom of three sons.  Kyle will be a senior, Treyden is in 6th grade, and Quincy is in 2nd grade.  Yes, I will have a child in all three schools!  We are a football, baseball, soccer, and this year archery, family! We are busy!

I am ready to teach you all the great things I've learned this summer and helping you to become the writer you were meant to be..yes, you!  I will be writing along with you as well, so don't be nervous!

The purpose of this blog is to keep you up-to-date with assignments and topics we are discussing.  This year you will have a planner to help you stay more organized and you will be required to bring it to class and record your assignments.  Hopefully this will end the dicussion that happens when you get home from school.  You know the one...Parent: "What did you learn today?" You: "Nothing."  This blog will be beneficial for you to show your parents what you did, or them to see what you are learning. 

I will be adding some educational links and videos for you to use at home and will use this to showcase your work!  Don't worry, it will never be without your permission.  We will discuss guidelines for this in class.

Well, ready or not...here we go!! Welcome to my class!
