Getting Acquainted

Welcome to 8th grade English!  I am excited to begin my 7th year of teaching at Workman this year.  I have met so many amazing students during my time at Workman, and I can't wait to get to know my students this year.  I believe that every child can learn, and they will learn in my classroom.  This year, every 8th grade student must pass the Reading TAKS test in order to move on to high school.  I want to empower my students to believe in their abilities and to become excited about learning and reading.  I know they will all be successful and PASS TAKS this year!!!!!

Every day students must write down the agenda for our class in their planner.  Please ask your student to see their planner to learn what we are doing in class as well as their nightly homework.

Homework this week:

Wednesday, September 30 and Thursday, October 1 we will complete the first reading benchmark in class.  Please encourage your students to go to bed early and eat a good breakfast!!

English 8:  Students just completed their second set of vocabulary words.  Ask your student about the 12 "vert" words that they know.

 Pre AP English:  Students have now completed four sets of vocabulary words.  Ask your student about their "vert," "pre," and "ject" words.  Pre AP students have a vocabulary test every week on either Wednesday or Thursday.
