What is literacy?

Literacy is the combination of reading and writing to understand the world around us.

Everyone in my classes is required to have a library book in class everyday. If you don't have one, get one! You should read for pleasure everyday. I enjoy reading mysteries, romance, and some suspense. I read everyday. I enjoy reading. Don't forget that reading helps shape your vocabulary and helps you become a better writer.

Make sure that you have the vocabulary from the stories we are reading in class.

Keep your notebooks current. You never know when I might have a notebook check or a library book check for a grade. I will be attaching vocabulary to my blog soon! Watch for it!

Week of August 30

This week we will be reading "Masque of the Red Death" by Poe in EnglishII and "The Most Dangerous Game" in English I. If anyone wants a book to take home, please feel free to ask me. I will check out books only to those that ask to have one at home. We will be studying vocabulary and plot structure with the short stories. The only homework you will have is anything you don't finish in class that I tell you is due the next day. Please get all of your paperwork turned into me by Wednesday!

Happy Thanksgiving

We are holding our first Rachel's Challenge meeting today. I'm really excited about this program. We have about 90 students signed up to be in the club.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for. I will enjoy spending time with my family and abandoning any thoughts of dieting during the holidays. I hope everyone that has a safe and happy holiday.

Welcome

Hello,

I would like to welcome everyone to my blog. I am happy to be here and to communicate with you in my blog. I will be updating my blog to give teachers, students, and parents pertinent information about school. I would like to say that I am very excited about a new program being implemented in our district called Rachel's Challenge. It is a leadership program that deals with learning to be compassionate with other people's feelings. If you have any questions about this program, you can visit the website www.rachelschallenge.org.

Please check back for any news about school.
