Mission Label:


Mission
My goal is for each student to become an articulate user of language, both written and spoken. Writing and reading are the basics. Language skills, such as usage, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary and sentence structure will be taught through the individualized reading and writing of your child. I will create an atmosphere in my classroom where natural and purposeful reading, writing, speaking and listening take place. Writing is thinking. We will be doing a lot of thinking as we learn to manipulate language. Most of the writing will be done in class and we will write in several different genres, i.e., narrative, persuasive, and expository. Reading and writing go hand in hand; so, we will be larning from the authors we are reading. Mrs. Wood has been selected as Teacher of the Year from our school twice and received the Apple4theTeacher Award from Channel 4.
