Fall is here and school has started

School has started and I am trying to find ways to better communicate with parents, so I decided to learn to blog! This blog is for parents of 6/7/8th graders at Northport Middle School in Language Arts. As often as possible, I will post updates for the class. These updates will include a brief summary of what we did in class that day and any assignments we worked on. This will not be a detailed account of all assignments, for that you will need to check your child's planner. You may also post comments, but for personal contact and responses please email or call me at the school. I hope this blog will answer the question, "what did you do in school today?" You will no longer have to be satisfied with the response, "nothing." Instead you will be able to have a discusison about the class. Please give me suggestions and let me know what information would be helpful to you. Soon you will see links to places of interest, such as homework help.





6/7th graders: The theme this year for Language Arts is Choices. We are learning a method for analyzing poetry.





8th grade: The theme for the year is Challenges. You may want to ask your child what quote they picked to respresent themself.
