Welcome Portola Students and their Parents!
I’m Mrs. Lodge, your new English Teacher. This is my fourth year at Portola, plus I have three years of teaching experience aboard. I may look young, but I still hold the wisdom of my generation and beyond. This collective wisdom I plan to imprint onto each of you. Also I hope this will be an excellent year for all of us. We can have fun with learning. However, we will need to work hard first before we can play hard. What you put into this year is what you will get back. If you make the most of it, you will excel and grow. However, if you put in nothing, you are guaranteed to get nothing in return. This class works a lot with online tools. Students who have trouble accessing the internet may use the internet in the school library . It will be available to you during lunch or after school. Below are my norms, my expectations and goals for this class. Most Important Life Lessons to Master This Year: *Organizational skills in order to reach deadlines. *How to listen and follow directions carefully. *Accepting responsibility for the things you decide to do and not to do. *You cannot demand respect without giving respect. *Ask when you don’t know something. If you never speak up, you will never have a say.(i.e., “Quiet mouths don’t get feed!” )
