It is wonderful to be starting another year of teaching the language arts to
the seventh grade students and conducting writing workshops with the sixth
graders as well. I would say we are all off to a good start as all of the
students are so pleasant and eager to learn and participate in class!
Naturally, I want as much learning as possible to take place in my
classroom, and I like the students to be engaged in a variety of activities
that will bring about that learning. I try to choose literature that I
believe they will not only learn from but that they will enjoy. Daily I work
to make them literate speakers and writers of their language through the
teaching of the grammar, writing, and vocabulary. It is also very important
to me that all of this takes place in a classroom where everyone feels
respected and cared about, and not just by me. Finally, I want the students
to come to my room and know that I am VERY GLAD that that they are there.
