                                     Welcome to Sixth Grade Language Arts

                               at Germantown Middle School

    I am looking forward to getting to know each of my students this year and partnering with parents for a successful school year.

                                                            Reading is thinking!
     
     
     
     

                                               W.A.R. (We All Read)

     

    Students must bring their library book to class/school everyday for ELA class and for W.A.R. time. 

    W.A.R. is a school wide silent reading time everyday.
