Welcome Back!
As I write this first post of my classroom blog, I can't help but think of the Staples ad from a few years ago. The famous Christmas carol (see the title of my post) playing in the background while downtrodden kids and joyful parents go back-to-school shopping. Thankfully the kids from that commercial are not who comes through my door on the first day of school!
I have decided to start this blog in an effort to combat the typical teenage answer about what was done in school that day. I can guarantee you that "nothing" is far from the truth! My basic goal is for each post to be sort of an electronic newsletter about the goings-on in my reading/writing-literature classroom. I'm hoping that it will be manageable to do some additional posting based on events of the school and the community as well as other education related topics. Please be patient as this a new venture for me and as the hectic pace of the school year moves on weekly updates may not happen, but I will do my best.
If you are reading this blog, it means that your child has become a member of the Justice League - an 8th grade house at De Pere Middle School. The core teachers in our house include the following: Mrs. Baum, Mrs. Cerrato, Mr. Dernbach, Mrs. Doverspike, and Ms. Kleveno. The encore staff associated with the Justice League include our phy ed teachers, Mr. Ryan and Ms. McNiff as well as our Spanish teacher, Ms. Bravick. Our house maintains a website that has upcoming dates as well as homework calendars for each core teacher. There is a link in the Parent Resources at the bottom of this page or you can access it here.
Stay tuned for additional posts and updates. Better yet, follow this blog and you will be instantly notified of updates!
Let the countdown begin - 14 days until school starts!
