Supplies for School

English 8

English 8 students you should purchase a thumb drive or flash drive for our writing assignments. I will provide a writer's notebook and reading folder. Also, you will use your writing binder from Mrs. Sikkema's class last year. In addition, I would greatly appreciate any Kleenex donations!


Read 180 6th & 7th Grade Students

I will provide you with a reading folder and all supplies. If you are interested in donating a Kleenex box to my room, that would be wonderful!

See you all on September 3!

Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!

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
