Winding down...

As your 8th grade year comes to a close, there are many changes that will be taking place in your future. Each one of you made each of my classes unique, and I will miss that.
So, as you're heading off to high school, what will you miss most about 8th grade?

Greetings!

So, this is my first time creating a blog and I am ready to see what all of the buzz is about. One of my worst fears is that, since this is a Language Arts blog, I will have typos in any of my posts :) I will definitely do my best to make sure there aren't any, but please have mercy on me since I do have a 5-month old son at home who has not quite grasped the concept that night time is for sleeping. There certainly are some days that I feel like a zombie (like today).

I am excited to take the classroom discussion out of the classroom and hear what you all are thinking about once you leave my class. There will be times that we post about what we're reading, current events, and what we think about other language arts "things" (I know...definitely a rice cake word there!).

So, please join me as we try this out. Who knows...it might be a lot of fun!
