  9. 8th Grade Language Arts Course Expectations 2010 -2011 Miss Shanks, Room F020 Welcome to 8th Grade English! This document is designed to help you be successful in our class. Please read it carefully and don’t hesitate to ask questions if there’s anything you don’t understand. About Me: Mr. TerHorst invited me Jenkins last spring based on my educational background and 15 years of teaching experience ranging from Kindergarten P.E. to 8th Grade Computers. I have a K-8 Colorado teaching license, a BA from the University of Colorado, and a Masters in Education with a specialization in Educational Technology from The Colorado College. My most recent school home was Mann Middle School here in D11, where I taught Digital Technologies electives for 7 years. I loved that position and that school, yet I wanted to grow with and interact with adolescents in a regular classroom again. (The legacy of my technology experience is that we will be using digital tools often to facilitate our learning.) I was drawn to Jenkins because of its high standards of excellence in all areas. I am very excited and grateful to be here. Middle school students are my favorite age group! We are going to have a great year! TO DUE
