As my eighth grade students prepare to
move to high school, the best tools I can give them are communication skills. Reading, writing and oral communication skills are necessary to succeed in every
classroom, not just language arts. Research, activities, projects, novels
and short stories are used to meet individual needs and interests. Whether
writing a story, or working in a small group on a project, my students are
challenged to be creative and develop these specific skills. During the
school year, I focus on preparing them for what lies ahead, Confirmation
and successful assimilation into the high schools of their choice.
