LANGUAGE ARTS
At Meadowcreek, Language Arts is a dynamic department, where we expose students to a variety of reading and writing experiences, helping them to build the skills necessary to be successful in all classes, on all assessments, and in whatever endeavor a student plans to pursue after leaving Meadowcreek. We pledge to do our part to give each student a high level, rigorous Language Arts experience. We pledge to do our part to understand where our students are with their language and communication skills – we will work to identify individual strengths and weaknesses, and help each student move to the next level of language learning, with improvement for their communication skills. We want our students to be successful – in our Language Arts classes and across the other contents. We will work tirelessly to help students build the literacy skills that will serve them for a lifetime.
We ask that students come prepared to be fully engaged in class and the work we will do together. Parents can support these efforts by making sure students are present each and every day, and that students come prepared to work and learn. Our classes require that students are active: reading, writing, speaking, and thinking daily. We ask that parents encourage their students to read or study their latest Language Arts learning each evening (and across each break) to reinforce the work we are doing in the classroom.
As Language Arts teachers, we are excited to share our love of reading and writing with each student who becomes a part of the Meadowcreek family and lookforward to the work we will do together to help each student become better communicators for success across their school years and beyond. Please do not hesitate to contact any teacher if there is ever any question how we can better help a student achieve his or her literacy goals.
