7th and 8th Grade English Language Arts
Welcome to 7th and 8th Grade English Language Arts!
My name is Ms. Russ. I have been in the Hackettstown School District for eleven years! In that time, I've taught some version of ELA in every grade from 5th to 12th. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a concentration in Creative Writing at Montclair State University, and I received my teaching certificate as a graduate student at Fairleigh Dickinson University. I am currently working on my MA at Rowan State University.
Here are my class policies and procedures.
Some important links for my students:
IXL - ELA skills practice.
ClassDojo - Where I record daily behavior points.
Google Classroom - Where you will turn in most of your work.
The best way to reach me is via email - jruss@hackettstown.org. Please email me if you'd like to set up a time for a phone call.
