I am so excited to be joining you in 5th and 6th grade ELA this year. Reading can take you many places. We will continue on the path to learning and reading about different topics and identifying different literary elements and devices such as characterization, theme, plot and central idea. In addition, students will expand their vocabulary and spelling skills as well as hone their grammar and writing skills. Students will also partake in stations and centers to help reinforce skills being taught in the class. Throughout the year, we will also be participating in a Tower of Books challenge to foster the love of reading different genres. 

Thank you for choosing Catholic Education and sending your child to learn in the SWS community. I look forward to a great and rewarding year with you and your child. If you need to communicate with me, please send me an email or call the office and leave a message. I will respond to you at my earliest convenience. Please also check Schoology regularly for all important information and deadlines.
