=Welcome!= ==Welcome to English in room 104 at The Dalles Middle School! We are so glad you are visiting our new site. For the 2008-2009 school year, we are developing a new format, called a wiki, to keep our students and their families informed about what is happening in our dynamic classroom! Wiki in the Hawaiian language means"quick" or "fast" and is a great way to provide a quick update for what is happening in the classroom as well as The Dalles Middle School. . Our goal is to open communication and dialog in a fun and informative way. If you would like more information about wikis and their use in education, please click on the following link:== [|Wikis in Education]

==We love books, we love reading, and we hope to make students better communicators in the English language in order for them to be prepared for High School. Please provide any feedback to our site via e-mail - we would love to hear your comments. We will always be looking to improve its form and function. Enjoy and thanks for visiting!==
