WELCOME
Welcome to the Eigth Grade Language Arts Web Page. This web page is brought to you by Ms. Jastrzebski and is your source for news and information.
I graduated from DePaul University in 2009 with a degree in Secondary English Education (6-12). I grew up and currently live in the Riverside area. This is my second year of teaching. Last year I taught 8th Language Arts and worked as a School Improvement Specialist in Decatur, IL. Prior to that, I was a substitute teacher in the English Departments of several local schools, including Lyons Township High School. Currently, I am working on my Master’s of Education in Reading and Literacy from Benedictine University.
I look forward to working here because I can already tell that Pleasantdale has such a great faculty and group of students!
Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! We have an exciting year ahead of us.
Composition- We will focus on narrative writing first and then persuasive writing in preparation for the Explore test. Our first paper will be a literacy autobiography.
Please feel free to contact me anytime by either phone or email.
