Mrs. Teater's Language Arts Classes

Hello!  I am very eager to begin the new year with some students from last year and some new students.  I will maintain this website so that my students can check on assignments and contact me.  Assignments will be listed under the appropriate class heading.  Just click on the title of your class, and you will be able to see our work each day.  In addition, if you should have any difficulties, please feel free to email me at madelinect@leeschools.net.  I will check my email from home and get back to you as soon as possible--usually the same day.  You might want to bookmark this page so that you can easily return.

It is really important in any job to come to work with the materials and tools you need to do your work.  School is no different.  I try to keep the materials needed by students in my classes to a minimum.  (I raised four children of my own, and I remember how expensive buying materials at the beginning of the year can be.)  On the first day of school, students should bring the following materials:  notebook paper, a folder to keep papers together, a pencil and a blue or black pen.  By the second week of school, students should have a 3-ring notebook (not a folder) and a set of dividers labeled as follows:  Daily Grammar, Vocabulary, a binder clip, Author's Craft Responses, Ideas, Organization, Word Choice, Voice, Sentence Fluency, Drafts.   In addition, students should have highlighters in at least 3 colors.  Finally, it is helpful to have a dictionary and a thesaurus at home.  

There are some supplies that would be helpful to have in our classroom.  If you are willing to donate materials, the following items would be most appreciated:  tissues, paper towels, copy paper, filler paper,  3x5 index cards, sandwich bags, and pencil-top erasers.
