Meet the Teacher - Shelly Hunter
Welcome to 8th Grade Language Arts!
This school year marks the 25th year since I started teaching and my 9th year teaching at TMS. This class contains the grammar and writing portion of language arts. We will be discussing different genres, writing for different purposes and audiences, and exploring the art of communication. I'm looking forward to this year ahead!
My husband, Scott, and I have two grown children. I enjoy teaching, reading, writing short stories, gardening, and spending time with my family.

This Week...
Students are working on their Patriot's Pen essay. This year's theme is, "What freedom means to me." Essays are due in published form by Friday, October 30. I'm seeing exceptional effort in this project! We are also working on domain-specific vocabulary within a cross-curricular activity with Mrs. Holloway's literature class.
Our goals...
I can... write a well constructed paragraph that is concise and precise. W.8.4
I can... accurately use grade appropriate, domain-specific vocabulary words. L.8.6
