I am a second year teacher that graduated from Michigan State. Go green! One of my main focuses has been to develop a curriculum that aids in helping student's improve their writing. This initiative came after seeing student's results for the PSAT/ SAT. At our school, student's consistently scored low in science reading comprehension. So, this curriculum is my attempt at helping students improve their abilities.
