Information for Parents

Dear Parents/Guardian,

Welcome back to school! First I would like to say welcome to Ms. Diamond’s eighth grade Language Arts class. I am very excited and look forward to working with you and your student.  I ask that your student bring a three ring binder with dividers, loose leaf paper, and pencils to class every day. We have many things on the agenda for this year.  

The following are the selections that we will be studying:

• Tell-Tale Heart- Edgar Allan Poe
• The Treasure of Lemon Brown- Walter Dean Myers
• Lamb to Slaughter- Ronald Dahl
• The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins
• Night- Elie Wiesel
• To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee

There will also be a vocabulary list that students will bring home every week to study. Daily homework assignments will be centered on reinforcing vocabulary words.  I am also sending home a copy of my classroom procedures for you and your student to review.

On the back of this sheet, there is a contact form that I request you fill out.  If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call and leave me a message in the front office; our school number is 980-343-0698. I can also be reached by email at angelinec.diamond@cms.k12.nc.us, or you can check our class website at http://MsDiamond.educatorpages.com.  I am always happy to talk to the families of my students. Let’s work together to make sure your child gets everything he or she needs to be successful this year!

Again I look forward to this year!

Sincerely,

 Ms. Diamond

8^th Grade Language Arts
