Introducing...

Hello folks,

We are lucky to have two UVM interns joining House C Humanities this semester.

Holly Murphy is a senior at UVM double majoring in Secondary Education and English. She is from a coastal town on the North Shore of Boston, Massachusetts. When she’s not in school, Holly is working at the UVM Davis Center as the Technical Assistant Lead, cooking, playing video games, or playing Dungeons and Dragons with her friends at Champlain College. Holly is an avid reader, writer, and singer.  Her favorite book is A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Ms. Murphy had a previous placement in South Burlington with 7-12th graders, worked with Winooski high school students after school for a year at the Winooski Teen Center. She also has over 10 years of experience working both on and off stage at local and school theaters in Massachusetts with a range of ages. She also rides with the Champlain Equestrian Club when time permits.

Shannon McCullen is currently a senior at UVM and a double major of secondary education and political science with a minor in French.  She hails from Essex Junction, Vermont.  At UVM, she is involved with the Catamount Pep Band where she is a section leader for the flutes and clarinet.  She also is involved with the Cooperative Christian Ministry. Outside of school, she is active in the Boy Scouts with Troop 624 and Crew 6689.  She is looking forward to working with all of our students.

These two have been busy over the past month getting to know our students and planning engaging instruction in language arts and social studies.

Progress Reports

Hello families,

Students received their progress reports for the second trimester on Friday 1/30 (those involved in the play will receive them today). Please be sure to check with your child to review his or her science, math, and humanities reports. As always, feel free to contact individual teachers if you would like more information.

Thanks!

Write On!

Hello!

This Monday (2/2) will mark the first day of Write On - a time and place for students to work on and hone their writing. I (your loyal writing interventionist) will be on hand to support and assist with any writing needs - whether it's student assignments (informational text/science fair procedures/summaries/et cetera) or their own personal story/novel/epic poem/rap/et cetera. My hope is that the room will also serve as a relatively quiet place where people who just want to come write can also do so. Any student is welcome to bring what they'd like to work on.

Write On will be held Mondays through Thursdays, from 2:30 to 3:00 in room 224. If you have any questions, please let me know!

Best:
James Moore.
Writing Interventionist.
