Empowering Language Arts: Nurturing Reading and Writing Skills

Welcome to our Language Arts class where we embrace John Cotton Dana's belief that "Who dares to teach will never cease to learn." With 18 years of experience and advanced degrees in education, I aim to foster a positive learning environment. Students are encouraged to come prepared with a positive attitude, a notebook, and completed homework. Our focus will be on improving reading and writing skills through engaging resources, novels, and varied writing assignments. Let's cultivate a love for literature and develop essential skills together!
