Reading the words of others, and writing our own, allows us to discover our true voice. -Ms. Valvano
Dear Students and Parents-
I am looking forward to spending the next 180 days together. Please enter my classroom with an open mind, and be ready to share your thoughts and ideas. You will be reading a variety of types of literature and informational text, learning how to write an argumentative essay, and practicing communicating through the written word. I will also be encouraging you to read independently through our 40 Book Challenge Reading program. I love to throw a little bit of public speaking into the mix too. Oh and let us not forget about...GRAMMAR:)
You can always email me with any questions that you have along the way. I am looking forward to a challenging, but very rewarding year.
Ms. V
