I'm glad you are in my class!  Located within this website are documents and links related to what we are learning in class.  This website is intended to supplement what is posted in Microsoft Teams. If there is a conflict between this website and Microsoft Teams, what is on Teams and Class Notebook supersedes this website. If you find a need for something that isn't posted in either place, please let me know and I'll make sure to have it posted.

For more fun, you can follow me on Twitter @HoyEnglish and Swope Middle School @Swope_ms.  

Every year an anonymous 8th grader hosts an Instagram page: @swopegtreminders that is fun to follow for updates on 8th grade assignments.  At the end of each year, the person who hosts it passes it down to a rising 8th grader who promises to keep their identity a secret.  Its been going on for years, and we NEVER know who is behind it.

Class Motto:

Read with Joy

Write with Passion

Speak with Conviction

Listen with Care 

Learn with Laughter
