Hello! I am a sixth year teacher, but this is only my second year teaching in a very urban area of Pennsylvania. I teach 8th grade English/Reading in a K-8 school. Because of our K-8 design, we only have 2 eighth grade classrooms, so our school often ends up feeling more like an elementary school than a middle school for our 6th-8th grade students. Limited classes also creates a situation where we are a very inclusive school, with children of all levels being mixed together in one room. This creates the need for very high-interest reading materials, so that I can grab the attention of all learners.
