First Week Back!

Hello Students!

So begins a new school year for all of us.  We are about to embark on a great adventure together - taking risks and pushing ourselves to learn new information; growing creatively as a community of readers, thinkers, and writers.  I am very excited.

I am all about challenging you (and myself too) this year to do new activities and to think about our world in exciting and different ways.  We will  incorporate a lot of  new technology (well...new to me) and I know you will rise to the occassion.  Many of you will have lots to teach me.  My first mission:  the samakoskyplhs blog.  Welcome!

I plan on posting homework, links, videos, resources, music, documents, handouts....basically everything to make your life easier and to provide you with every opportunity to be successful in our class this year.  This is OUR year.  We build the culture in our classroom by demonstrating respectful behavior.  We will honor each others voice and perspective and as such - really honor ourselves as a creative unit.

Welcome to English Class.
