"Reading is boring!"  "I hate to read!"  "I just can't find anything that I like!"  I am sure at one point or another most of us have made a negative comment about reading.  Reading can be a challenging and difficult task for some because it stretches the reader's brain and demands that the reader thinks for his or her self.  While reading can be scary it can also be an exciting journey that puts you on the front row of the action and takes you places all around the world. I encourage each of my students to join me in exploring the greater joys of reading by investigating each of the individual components in language arts that go in to making well written stories. 

Students, what I want you to remember is that everyone knows what a tough time middle school can be.  It can be hard to juggle school, friends, homework, and extra activities, but I am confident that you will have an amazing year.  Keep in mind that I can't answer questions that you don't ask.
