This year is my second year teaching at the Sherman School, and I am very
excited! I grew up in New Fairfield, so I know the area well, and I'm glad
to be returning for a second year after nine years in Massachusetts. I had
a wonderful year last year, and I look forward to a great year together this
year. Please contact me at any time at bairdm@shermanschool.com.
In 7th Grade Language Arts we will be working on becoming better readers and writers together.
Students will work on building reading skills through reading at least three books and one play this year
(Where the Red Fern Grows, The Outsiders, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Giver). Students will
build their writing skills by learning how to write well developed paragraphs and well developed five
paragraph persuasive essays. We will also work on grammar by learning the parts of speech and how to
use them to build well written sentences. We will work on vocabulary and spelling through reading
literature and working on various vocabulary activities. I hope to develop projects and assignments that
are enjoyable and help build skills in a successful way.
