Welcome to the new JMS English Website.

JMS English was orginally designed as an 8th grade Language Arts Website and provided information, help, learning strategies, and class updates to all 8th grade students at Jenkins Middle School.

The site was designed and maintained by Debra Gastelum who taught 8th grade Language Arts at JMS for 10 years until she took the position as Library Media Specialist four years ago.  Another 8th grade language arts teacher, Diana Wilson, who worked with Mrs. G for 5 years, continued with the technology integrated language arts class that revolved around JMS English.com.  However, the next year found Mrs. Wilson tranferring to an elementary school as she persued her administrative degree.

As often is the case, new teachers arrived and things changed.  The technology integrated language arts program was no more and JMS English became a zombie site, only visited by those doing searches on the web.

After much thought and heartache over the loss of the program, it was decided that even though the program won’t be back, at least the site can rise again!  Now JMS English will become a resource for teachers in all subject area.  New information will be added frequently and tried and true techniques and resources will be added back to the site.

JMS English once had hundreds of visitors daily from around the world.  Even now there are other sites that link to some of the orginal pages hidden within the contents.  Maybe, with a little work, JMS English will be useful once again!
