Welcome to the WIS Middle School Language A Wikispace!

My name is Jill Craig and I am the Middle School Language A (English) teacher.

Through this wikispace, I will be keeping you up to date with what your child is doing in the Language A classroom. This should give you a better insight into classroom practices, activities and expectations and should allow you to support your child's learning more effectively.

More about Me

==For those of you who don't know me, please allow me to tell you a bit about myself - My name is Jill Craig and I come from England. I moved to Poland with my husband and two children 7 years ago and have been teaching at Wroclaw International School ever since. It has been a very exciting time at WIS and I have really enjoyed living here and watching the school grow and embrace the IB Middle Years Programme. Before moving to Poland I taught in Japan for about 10 years and then in London for 3 years. ==

==I am the grade 9 & 10 Advisor, Middle School Language A (English) teacher and Personal Project Coordinator. I will also be working alongside the Student Representative Council as the supervising teacher. ==

==I am really looking forward to working with your children this year and I hope that you will not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. ==
