As your teacher, I will try to present information in an interesting manner, give appropriate homework, maintain a sense of humor, be fair and understanding, considerate of your feelings, and help you understand your work.
Our focus this year:

• To develop competency in and enthusiasm for reading, writing about and interpreting literature
• To learn how sentences/paragraphs are formed and how to write sentences that are correct, clear, direct, and varied
• To discuss quality writing and observe good writing in books and stories
• To use technology as much as possible to further develop word processing skills
