In language arts, we will be focusing on reading and writing (obviously), with the goal of bringing some specificity into both of those subjects. (What a great word, specificity. It is a noun that means "the quality of being detailed or exact.") In other words, I want students to learn to truly explain their thoughts, so that others might understand why they think what they do. I don't care what you think, as long as you can explain to me (with examples and details!) why you think it!



Documents Tab: Electronic copies of things we use in class. If you don't see something you need, just ask!

Events Tab: Due dates for assignments

Grades Tab: Link to Skyward Family Access (you will need a password for this; please contact the main office if you do not have one)

Homework Tab: A running commentary of what we do each day in class. Please note, there is not always homework per se, but I want to be sure people understand what we're doing on a daily basis. For due dates, please see Events Tab.

Links Tab: Links to grammar and punctuation practice, as well as the OSPI (Office of the Superintendant of Public Instruction) website. I do check these occasionally, but if you notice a bad link, please let me know!
