Mrs. Pearson
Grades 8 English Language Arts

 

Welcome to English Language Arts!  I am ready for an exciting new year full of challenges and rigorous curriculum.  I hope you are too!  This year we will be working with curriculum that will not only challenge you in reading and language arts, but it will help you to be a critical thinker and to push beyond your comfort zone!  Together we will make sure that you grow as a reader and as a thinker. 



I am happy to have been teaching in South Holland for over 23 years. I began my career as a 7th/8th grade Literature and Language Arts teacher.  From there, I moved to the position of Gifted and Talented Program Coordinator, and for the past five years, I am back in the ELA classroom!
