Welcome to 8th Grade English!

I look forward to working with you and your child(ren) this year.  My webpage has information that is helpful for the class, such our syllabus, supply list, and lesson plans. I have also included helpful links to our books that we will be reading this year (a new book every nine weeks) and how to sign-up for Remind.com. The photo gallery includes pictures from field trips, work shops, and dress-up days. Please contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. Go Tigers!!
