Ms. Hamilton's ELA Blog

This blog is a space in which my ELA students and I can share information about assignments, projects, books and writing. I encourage all students and their parents to use this blog as a resource, as I will use it as a means of communication throughout the year. I also hope my students will use this space as a place to share what they are reading and writing with others.

Oh, one more thing.

Check out my e-chalk page. Go to is93.org, click on Teacher pages, and then click on my name. Find out about important assignments and deadlines.

Welcome Back!

Hi guys, welcome to the 8th grade.

This year we are going to build on all our hard work from last year. To start off, we are going to refamiliarize ourselves with the reading strategies, independent reading, and the rituals and routines of the classroom. Then we will jump right into to our first author studies (Walter Dean Myers for 843 and 845 and John Steinbeck for 849) and begin work on our responses to literature.

I look forward to a productive, exciting year.
