• N1-5: Analyzing Informational Text

Writing: If students didn’t finish their rough draft from last week this needs to be finished today. Write a letter to Harriet thanking her for her contributions to the abolitionist movement. Be sure to include text evidence in your letter and specific accomplishments. This will need to be turned in when we return from school.

**Students will be writing an informational essay about how the women they read about this week made an impact on history. Keep this in mind when students are reading their articles. I will send out the prompt Thursday/Friday.**

Welcome to our class! My name is Mrs. Simerly, and thank you for taking the time to visit my classroom website. Some of my favorite things are my daughter (Kennedy Grace), my dog (Zeus), my husband (Dylan), and teaching! I like to tell funny stories about my life to my students to help build relationships with them, so be prepared to hear them too! I am an alumni of East Tennessee State University, where I recieved my bachelors in K-6th Elementary, and then recieived my Masters in 4th-8th Education. Teaching is my passion, and I can't wait to see what your child will accomplish in my class!
