About The Teacher Label
About The Teacher
My name is Mrs. Powers, and I teach language arts to sixth and seventh graders at Central Tree Middle School. This is my third year teaching here at Central Tree. I've come to truly love teaching middle school, and I am looking forward to meeting many new students in 2008 -2009! Although my start at Central Tree in the fall of 2006 was my first position after having taken a few years off to be at home with my children, it was by no means the starting point of my career. I taught for 13 or so years in total at other schools in other places (primarily in Eagan,MN, Apple Valley, MN and Harvard,MA) prior to working here in Rutland. I am certified as both an elementary teacher and a middle school language arts teacher. I am passionate about the things I teach - both reading and writing, and am constantly contemplating ways to help the students deepen their appreciation and enjoyment of them as well. In addition to the things I do that directly relate to my teaching, I also like many different kinds of sports (softball, swimming, basketball, and various watersports) and play several different musical instruments (guitar, piano, french horn, recorder, and voice). I enjoy and appreciate art and believe wholeheartedly in the value of creative expression (drama, music, art, writing, etc.). I see academic learning as a very important element to an individual's growth and success, but I also put great value on learning that takes place through other channels as well. I am very excited to be going into my third year as part of the Central Tree staff. I look forward to getting to know many new students and having a great year!
Mission For The Class Label
Mission For The Class
Dear Students, My job this year will be to lead you on a journey to become better readers and writers. I will equip you with the necessary tools (many opportunities and options for reading and writing) and guide you in navigating your way (by helping you to learn the necessary skills). Your job is to do the walking, take ownership for your journey, and find pride in where you end up. There will be some choices in the paths you take, and many different ways to get there. My hope is that you will consider your choices carefully and find a path that fits and motivates you. If you do, I think you will find both the journey and the end result rewarding. :) Mrs. P :) Dear Parents, Although many of the daily responsibilities that impact your child's learning will be carried out by teacher and student here at school on a daily basis, I believe wholeheartedly that your child will get the most out of his or her year in my class if we (parent, teacher, and child) can all work as a team. Please know that I will be working very hard to provide assignments and experiences for your child that will help to develop both his/her skills in and appreciation for reading and writing. If at any time you are unclear about an assignment or procedure, or you see something in your child that is concerning that you think I should know about, PLEASE feel free to contact me. Through mutual respect and open communication, I hope we can be an effective team of advocates for your child's learning. Thank you in advance for your help! Diana Powers
