Welcome to seventh grade ELAR! My name is Ms. Fountain and this is my 6th year at C.H.M.S. I have taught English and Reading for a total of 9 years, as well as a variety of grade levels, but I have to say seventh grade is MY FAVORITE!!
Teaching is my absolute passion in life. In my classroom I often ask my students, "Is it meaningful/purposeful?" Everything I teach in my class has value and substance. We connect everything to ourselves and our world (text to self and text to world). We will read at least two novels this year and a variety of genres. I mostly teach through whole group discussion and allow students to lead the conversation while giving them the freedom to express their opinions and values through respectful conversations and teacher guidance.
When I teach, I always teach to the highest level in each of my classes. Teaching to the highest standard has made success huge in my classroom year after year. Students learn to think independently and connect genres to other subject areas through life experiences and class discussions. Teaching to the highest standard also teaches students to infer, predict, and monitor their learning while asking valuable questions to reach their full potential.
Do not hesitate to contact me through email, phone, or remind. Students are my number one priority any day of the week. I am also the team leader for 7th grade so any questions or concerns in regard to 7th grade please email me or text using the remind app-seventh grade team.
It is going to be a GREAT year!
