Mrs. Allen's Language Arts
ABOUT YOUR TEACHER
I have been a teacher for 28 years, and am certified in many areas including English, Speech, Drama, Social Studies, and Reading. I have a Master's degree from the University of Oklahoma and a Bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State University. I've taught at all levels K-12, and in 2018 moved back to Owasso after 16 years of teaching in Europe for the Department of Defense Dependent Schools. I grew up in Owasso, am an Owasso graduate, and my family is still here, so moving back to Oklahoma and being a Ram again was a dream come true! I love to travel, read, and spend time with my family and pets. My husband is an Air Force retiree and a History teacher at Owasso High School, and we live in Owasso with our two rescue dogs, and two cats from Hungary. Go Rams!
OUR CLASS GOALS
As your teacher, my top priority is to prepare you for high school using extensive reading and writing opportunities through innovative approaches that will make learning fun and engaging. Almost everything you need for my class can be accessed through this web page and Google Classroom. Most of what we do is done electronically. I am here to assist you and will do my best to help you reach your own personal goals.
This site is quite basic, as I have moved daily content and updates to Google Classroom. The purpose of this page is to introduce you to our classroom, to help you get started with Google Classroom, see a supply list, and provide you with some web links we will be needing throughout the year. I recommend placing a shortcut on your phone or other devices so you can access this page with one click. We will utilize Google Classroom most of the time. I will email you an invitation to our Google Classroom. If for some reason you do not receive an email from me with this invitation, please contact me so I can get that to you. Parents should also download the Classroom app and join our classroom as a parent to receive regular notifications.
Parents, in order to do this, please email me and put your child's hour and name in the subject line. In the body of the email, just write "add me", and I will add you using the address you used to contact me. This will add you to all of your child's classes that use Google Classroom, so you will not have to do this again. :)
Daily assignments are posted online in Google Classroom. If you miss a day of class, it is a student responsibility to check Classroom and complete your assignment for the day. If you have any questions about assignments, you can reach me through Classroom or email until 4:00 on school days.
Students and parents, if you have any questions at all or need anything else from me, please do not hesitate to contact me. I really do love to help, and I will do my best to do that for you!
