Come check out what 7th grade English, REACH English, and Accelerated Spanish students are accomplishing.

WELCOME!!

Welcome to the 2020-21 school year!   I am pleased to be entering my 27th year of teaching in District 205.  

This year, I am co-teaching  my block 1 7th grade English class with Ms. Puralewski.  Together, we look forward to helping all of our students grow to become independent, lifelong learners.  Through both reader's and writer's workshops, students will have the opportunity to strengthen their skills as they read a variety of texts, write stronger arguments, and work on their speaking and listening skills as they explore texts and share ideas with their groups.

In addition, I am thrilled to be teaching both 7th grade blocks of REACH English this year.  I am working  to continue to challenge and engage our 7th grade REACH students.  I will strive to provide every REACH student with opportunities to analyze texts, evaluate ideas, and create a variety of products throughout the year.  Students will find the workshop model a place in which they may take control of their learning experiences.

In all 3 blocks of English, students will use fabulous tech tools and resources such as Zoom, Google Classroom, No Red Ink, Seesaw, Flipgrid, Common Lit., and Newsela to navigate through this technological landscape with which we are immersed.  Students will continue to strengthen their skills in writing, reading, speaking & listening, grammar, and vocabulary as they utilize the technology available to truly grow as independent learners.  

While this year may not be starting in any way in which we may have envisioned, we will work as a team to provide our students with a toolbox of skills necessary to grow as 21st century learners.  Together, we will make this a fantastic year!
