Welcome STORM students! I am very excited for this school year! Bookmark this website so you can keep up to date on everything that is happening in our classroom. It will be a great resource for you to not only know what we are doing, but to find links to important documents, assignment information, and due dates.Middle school has a reputation for being tough on children socially and not important academically. This could not be further from the truth. These are important years for your children to grow socially and create academic habits that will set them up for success in high school.
Through my Language Arts class, I make it my mission to combine learning and growing in literacy with expanding students' social awareness and thinking about things on a global scale. I will work with your students to understand and develop a Growth Mindset that will encourage them to make mistakes and make them often! Through mistakes, we learn and understand how to progress for future learning! We will explore overarching concepts such as maturity, perception, self-awareness, personal accountability, and recognizing struggle in self and others. We use these concepts to expand ourselves as readers and writers while thinking beyond ourselves.
I encourage you to work with me this year to make it a successful and enjoyable experience for your child. Let's get after it! GO STORM!
