Personal Mission Statement

I believe all student are capable of learning something. When one strategy does not reach them, I believe in trying each of them until we find one that works. I believe that all students should give and recieve respect and school should be a safe environment for the students. I believe in hands on, small group, individualized instruction, and fun learning. I believe in helping students acheiving their IEP goals and objectives. Most of all, I believe each day all students should start with a clean slate and be given another chance for success.

Poetry Unit

This is an overview of the poetry unit we will discuss in class. We will be researching and writing different types of poems. Students will be divided into groups and each person assigned a task in the group. There will be a leader, a note taker, an official questioner (this person will direct group question to the teacher) and a finally, a time keeper. We will be assigning groups and jobs in class on Friday. Each student will be responsible for creating EACH type of poem we study. The groups will research an assigned poetry topic and report to the class. The link (click on the title) will be an excellent place for you to begin learning about poems. If you have any questions feel free to post them on the blog, e-mail me, or ask tomorrow in class. Have a great evening!!

I like what you have done so far, the use of color and imagination has caused your blog to stand out. I like the page layout as well.
