Welcome!This year, we will be taking an exciting journey through different worlds as we immerse ourselves in the unforgettable world of literature. We will work together to build skills along this journey, focusing on reading practices such as critical thinking and understanding, supporting claims with text evidence, evaluating perspectives, and analyzing different texts. Discussion, debate, creativity, and questioning are encouraged as we learn this year, and I look forward to seeing how much you will grow!
Message to Parents!First and foremost, thank you for choosing St. William the Abbot to support your child’s academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth. As a product of Catholic education, I understand the importance of this decision and feel blessed to be a part of your child’s education. We are a team, and I look forward to working with you to make this year successful for your child.
