It's hard to believe that the summer has come to an end! I hope that you had some fun over the summer and got away from the heat for a little while. We have all returned to work hard in the up coming year. I have a lot of fun plans for us this year and promise we will learn along the way, too. The units will include: grammar, writing skills using Step up to Writing and the Six Traits, paragraphs, essays, poetry, short stories, and a novel study. All of the units 8th grade will contribute to improving each student's literacy.
Now, I would like to share alittle about myself with you, so we can get to know each other better. I was born in Dallas, Texas and lived there until I was three years old. I then moved to Minnesota, and finally to Illinois where I grew up. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a B.S. in Elementary Education. I have an emphasis in language arts, Spanish and middle school. I am now pursuing my masters in secondary education at NAU with an emphasis in reading. I have taught for eight years at Stapley teaching in the English Department. I am very excited to be here at Stapley Junior High. This is an awesome school with an incredible staff. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with all of you.
Please know that my door is always open. I want to work with you to be a positive influence on your family. If you suspect there may be a problem, have questions or special concerns, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sarbo
