Welcome to my English 7 website! My name is Mrs. Jennifer James. I have been both a high school and junior high English teacher for the past 12 years. Over the last 9 years, I have happily taught at Turlock Junior High School, one of the best schools around; complete with a rigorous curriculum, friendly staff and of course, amazing students which I believe to be the true heart beat of our campus! GO TIGERS!!! As an English Teacher and an avid writer of poetry, I believe in making every day/moment count to help touch the hearts and minds of all my students. My goal each day is to challenge them as learners to fall in love with reading and writing in whatever way possible. Creativity is the window to open doors unknown yet, can be the most magical experience we encounter in life. It is when we take time to dig deeper than the mere surface level of text and find an unexpected answer within that is truly brought to life through the power of thinking. Be the student, the parent, the teacher that inspires, that is a light where there is darkness and be the one person to bring hope to humanity accidentally on purpose. :-) I look forward to this year and the grand adventures it may hold. :-) Simply remember the choices we make are important. Be Happy, Be KInd and Happy Learning to all!
