The Civil Rights Movement…Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr…the reason we have the rights we have today!
« Email
Parents,
It is my preference that we communicate via email. This is the easiest way to get in touch with me and it is the easiest way to get feedback because I will be able to respond within an hour or so. This is opposed to calling the school and leaving a message with the front office. I may not get the message until the next day.

Thank you.

TCAP Writing Assessment…February 1, 2011
We will be using the 5-paragraph expository essay format/template in order to effectively learn to write a 5-paragraph essay. The writing exam is around the corner and we are putting a great deal of emphasis on this because all students need to learn to write knowing how to explain by using details and facts.
Write as much as you possibly can so that you can become more and more familiar with writing. Read as much as you possibly can so that you can become more and more familiar with how to communicate effectively.
READING and WRITING go hand-in-hand. Reading promotes writing and writing promotes reading. Do them both and see how differently your grades may look.
