Reading!

All students in my Language Arts classes are required to read 5 books(of their choice) this term. This is a change from the original, beginning of the year expectation. Students are asked to read each night for at least 20 minutes.

The Landlady by Ronald Dalh

Below is a link for the screen adaptation of Ronald Dalh's short story The Landlady. Grade 8 students have been studying the story by searching for examples of foreshadowing.

Reading at home!

Students are expected to read 15-20 minutes at home on a nightly basis.

Supplies!

All students please remember to bring 3 duo-tangs to class Monday. Also, grade 9 students need to bring $1.25 to purchase a Reader's Notebook.

Have a great weekend!

Welcome Back!

All students in my Language Arts classes have received or will receive(tomorrow) a parent/guardian letter. Please read, sign & return as soon as possible. Also, you may include your email address if you would like to be contacted via email.

My contact information can be found on the letter below. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns or questions throughout the year.

I'm looking forward to a fantastic year!
