8th Grade ELA
My name is Mariah Gorham. This is my 3rd year of teaching, and my first year here at Belle Creek. The photo above is my partner and I. We live together in Thornton along with our 3 cats. When I'm not in the classroom I love to travel, swim, crochet, and country dance. I look forward to a wonderful year of growth and learning together.
Welcome to 8th grade ELA!
This will be a go to spot for all of our ELA related updates. A general outline of what we will be focusing on each week will be provided here. I will also post important updates about upcoming projects, larger assignments, tests, and quizzes. Make sure to also check student planners for additional updated information and due dates.
August 25-29
Welcome back Belle Creek families! It has been a lovely first couple of weeks getting to know your students inside and outside of the classroom.
In ELA we are currently working through our Narrative and Perspectives unit. This unit focuses on skills such as reading like writers, creating vivid descriptions, and focusing in on specific moments in their writing. Students may come home with occasional homework for the class, either because something was not completed in class or they need to work on it outside of school.
Please remember there is NO SCHOOL the next TWO Monday's! (September 1 and September 8).
