Dear Students and Parents,
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to a new school year. I hope it will be both a rewarding and an exciting one for you. I would especially like to welcome you to our English classroom. I believe that this is a place where you can learn a great deal about literature, people, and events of the past and present. Additionally, I believe that we will both enjoy the learning process. It is my ultimate goal to encourage each and every one of you to be life long learners!
I would like to focus on a few important ideas that will help us maximize our success. English lends itself to discussing, analyzing, writing, reading, and forming opinions. To get a better understanding of literature, we must all participate by sharing our ideas with each other. I want you to know that your ideas, thoughts and solutions are both important and valuable. Also, I want to encourage you to take risks and to ask questions.
In closing, I want you to know that I expect you to work hard. I also expect you to respect your peers, be a responsible student, care about yourself and your work. But most importantly, I expect you to have fun and embrace all the joys that Language Arts has to offer. In turn as your teacher, I will work to ensure that this school year is both a profitable and enjoyable one.
