Welcome

I’m glad you’re interested in hearing more about our classroom.  I hope you find this blog interesting, informational and, at times, entertaining.  I am a novice blogger, and I am excited to navigate this new writing medium.  Sitting here in my hammock, enjoying the heat of the summer sun and the refreshing evening breeze, I look forward to crafting my weekly posts throughout the scool year.

In some ways, this blog is as much a personal challenge as it is a professional tool.  I always tell my students that in order to best teach reading and writing, I need to be a reader and a writer.  Here is where I share a portion of those habits with you.

To read my weekly posts, simply click on Class News in the upper right-hand corner.  There, you will see my most recent posts, which will most likely be labeled with the grade level.  If you’d prefer to see only information for English 7 or English 8, click on the corresponding category and it will pull just the desired information.  Anything filed under General may pertain to both grade levels.

I look forward to a happy and productive school year!

Mrs. Cornwell
