Mrs. Snowden-8th Grade English!

With a Bachelors degree from Sonoma State University and a Masters degree from Cal State, I have been teaching for twenty years. I hold teaching credentials in History and English, as well as a CLAD credential. My goal is to prepare my 8th grade students for high school by improving their reading, writing and communication skills. Along the way, I want them to also take pride in their accomplisments and to learn from their mistakes. Laughter, encouragement and mutual respect are also necessary components of my classroom.
