Welcome to Mrs. Futoma’s Class
Grade 7 & 8 Middle School ELA and Social Studies
Welcome to Upper Middle School! I am incredibly excited for you to be a part of our classroom community! In our classroom, we will promote critical thinking and creativity, demonstrate the relevance of reading, writing, and history to our lives, and foster a community of lifelong learners. Students will acknowledge and support each other as both learners and critical thinkers. Within our community, I ask that students always bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and a growth mindset to class each day. We will work together and learn to be leaders, collaborators, and advocates within the classroom and the larger community.
About Mrs. Futoma: I am originally from Rhode Island and graduated summa cum laude with a BA in English and Secondary Education from Roger Williams University. After teaching for three years in Honolulu, HI, I am glad to be back in my local area. I love working with middle schoolers, and I feel so blessed to be part of the St. Michael’s community. Feel free to email me anytime at kfutoma@smsfr.dfrcs.org
We are always on the lookout for classroom supplies such as tissues, paper towels, hand sanitizer and especially Clorox/Lysol wipes. Thank you for helping to keep us healthy!
Supplies: Students will need a 3-ring binder (at least 1 inch) with five dividers and loose-leaf paper.
