Welcome!
Welcome to my classroom! My goal with this site is to give you the opportunity to peek into my learning adventures as well as keep you updated on assignments, resources and events.
My most important classroom goals are as follows:
* to create, at least, a deeper understanding, if not enjoyment of various forms of literature
* to grow effective written communication
* to experiment with various writing styles
* to foster appreciation for diversity and humanity
My most important classroom rules are as follows:
* leave your issue at the door, we work to start fresh every period
* everyone is a valuable asset to the classroom community and will be treated as such
* revision will be your best friend, and secret to getting an "A."
My room is my students' room. Often wayward students find themselves in my room before and after school and periodically throughout the day. I encourage students to get extra help, and stop in to chat if needed. I have several bookshelves with books just salivating over the opportunity to be read and loved by students. My biggest hope is that with the cooperation of my students, we can create and maintain a safe, fun and challenging educational atmosphere where everyone is valued and accepted.

The choices I make in my classroom are guided by the Iowa Department of Education and their Iowa Core Standards. I work hard to align our every day work with what the state has established as a standard. Please feel free to download it and check it out! or visit their website.
