Mrs. Tracey Butler is a veteran sixth grade language arts teacher at Arlington Middle School. She loves being a part of the educational process. As a child she dreamed of being a teacher and to support that dream, her parents built and furnished a schoolroom for her in the garage. Although her students are no longer dolls and teddy bears, she still arrives to the classroom with the same enthusiasm and passion. She has dedicated her life to helping students realize their dreams. Her commitment is evident in the after school programs she has developed and the extracurricular activities she has designed. Recently she overheard a student saying he wished a character he was reading about was a real person, and her peals of joy could be heard in the hallway.
Mission For The Class
I remember when I first heard about chat rooms and I thought everyone talked into his computer and had online face-to-face conversations. How surprised I was to discover that a chat room is all print! In a world where the written word is becoming increasingly significant, I intend to give students the skills to read both critically and also for pleasure.
