This is my first year at the middle school level. I am teaching sixth grade language arts, history, and journalism. My students enjoy creative approaches to instruction, such as implementing technology and working in a variety of ways: individually, small groups, and with partners. They care for one another and always do their best! Our primary goal is academic mastery. Our school strives to maintain an atmosphere that fosters the healthy emotional, intellectual, social, and physical growth of each student. We believe in the development of curriculum that encourages consideration for others. We incorporate the use of appropriate technologies to expand learning opportunities for students and to increase their rate of success. We emphasize that learning extends beyond the classroom walls and is a life-long experience. We promote a partnership between home, school, and community.
