Month: September 2017

Read this article here for the importance of goal-setting!

 

Students who missed Tuesday’s Writing Assessment and today’s Reading Assessment, please make arrangements to come before school on Thursday, September 21st, or stay after school on Friday to make them up. The purpose of assessments is to have a benchmark starting point from which students can track and monitor their progress.  Goal Setting will happen as early as next week!

 

 

Metaphors for the power of education exist without number.  It is a door, it is a key, it is the answer… This year my theme for education encompasses how I see my role in helping students learn.  While I have a lot of knowledge about language arts (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), my job is not to fill students’ pails.  Rather, my vision is that I am able to help ignite a passion for language arts – one that will burn brightly long after my influence has ended.  But, with any fire, it needs oxygen to breathe and grow – so, I am asking students to come into class with an open mind, ready to help the flame catch.
