I am delighted to be teaching reading this year and I have some exciting plans in store for the year! We will be reading several class novels, such as "Shiloh" and "Ugly". Throughout the year students will also be participating in literature circles, which are book clubs with their classmates. In language arts students will be writing several papers over the course of the year and giving a couple speeches too.
