Learners for Life

William Butler Yeats said,"Education is not the filling of the pail, but the lighting of a fire." Yeats doesn't just want us to fill our buckets (brains) in school; instead, we should continue to learn throughout our lives. School should ignite a fire within each of us and prepare us for the learning journey.

My goal for you in Language Arts is to become skilled, independent readers, writers, and thinkers. I’ve designed this page to assist you on this journey. On this blog, you will find updates and opinions about what I'm reading, book recommendations, reading and writing resources, announcements, much more. What are some things you would like to see on this blog? What types of activities and resources help you to learn?
