Ms. Walters'
8th Grade English/History

     I hope you all received an introductory note last week from our student teacher, Ms. Lauren Burch.  Ms. Burch is an English Education major from USM and will be with us for the next five weeks.  She is excited to be here and have the opportunity to work with our students.

     Your students are bringing home a flyer on the book fair today.  Our class will be attending on Thursday.  There is a great selection of books available, so please look over the flyer with your student and take advantage of this opportunity to support our library and provide your student with something they will enjoy reading.

     We are currently working on a unit on phrases in grammar and are working through chapter 9 - the making of a new nation which includes the Constitution - in history.  Students may have a little grammar homework, and they will have history homework at least a couple of nights each week. 

     As always, if you have any question or need to contact me, you can do so through the schoolnotes page or through school email at tammy.walters@lamarcountyschools.org.

Thanks,

Ms. Walters
