Welcome! Our goal this year is to learn to read

and think as writers. We will dive into engaging
novels and explore the journeys of different
characters. Daily discussion, collaboration, and
the use of technology will help us build skills that
we can apply in the real world. Get ready for a
year of exciting activities! I look forward to
learning with you.

When you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility

to check for work you have missed, and to turn
in any absent work within a timely manner.
Students are expected to regularly check
Skyward for assignments and grades.

All rules listed in

the student
handbook will be
enforced within
the classroom.

Be the best
version of
yourself.
