Classroom Promise
To create a classroom where
the best learning can take place and where we show each other respect, we always
talk to each other kindly, encourage each other, listen to each other
and teacher
carefully, come to class prepared, follow directions, and try our
best each
day.
Thoughts on Writing...
"As writers, we learn most of what we know just by
watching the pros, don't we?" ~John R. Trimble
“We need to teach our students to read like writers and
write like readers.” Kelly Gallagher
Thoughts on Reading...
“Reading changes your life. Reading unlocks worlds unknown or forgotten, taking travelers around the world and through time. Reading helps you escape the confines of school and pursue your own education. Through characters – the saints and the sinners, real or imagined – reading shows you how to be a better human being.” ―
Donalyn Miller,
The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child“I try to teach my students that books are a mirror, reflecting their own lives, and a window, giving them a peek into someone else's.” ―
Donalyn Miller“Deeper comprehension is more likely to occur when we
discuss our reading with others.” Kelly Gallagher
“A critical reader in the classroom makes for a discerning
reader outside of the classroom.” Kelly Gallagher
