Our Purpose
This is English class; we read and write daily.
You will need:
Blue or black pens, pencils, a working sharpener, loose-leaf paper, and a single subject notebook.
What Our Classroom Looks LikeEverybody is engaged. We are learning; our daily tasks are not about racing to see who can finish first. That is an elementary school practice. You are now in the middle of middle school.
When you finish an assignment or task, the appropriate question is “What’s next?” (not “I’m done.”) there’s always something more to read or write or revise or think about or discuss…English is a re-curs-ive subject: everything you've already learned still counts!

“We cannot live for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect
us to our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads our
actions run as causes and they come back to us as effects.”
-Herman Melville, American writer
