Welcome Back
Welcome back to what I know will be a wonderful school year for all of us. I look forward to being your child’s Language Arts teacher. I have high expectations that this will be an incredibly successful year for all students. This year your student will be embarking on an exciting journey through the world of Language Arts.
This year in Language Arts we will study short stories, poetry, drama, public speaking, non-fiction, and mythology; of course there will also be novels to read. My goal is to get the students to read more; to see that literature is relevant to their own lives, and hopefully to find something they can enjoy about reading.
