Welcome to Mrs. Melville's Wikispace!

"Ability is nothing without opportunity."  -Napoleon Bonaparte

 Welcome new families and returning families to the 2011-2012 school year at Beaufort Academy; I know this will be a great adventure if we work together! This is my third year here at BA, and for those of you who don't know me read on for some background information. I am a graduate of UNC - Wilmington with an English degree with teacher certification and have been teaching for 10+ years. My husband, Bruce, is active duty Marine Corps, and that is how we found our way to South Carolina. Prior to that my family has lived in North Carolina, Virginia and Okinawa, Japan which was a fantastic experience! I would love to share some stories with you! I have two daughters, 6 and 8, and two sons, 13 and 14, who all attend BA! We are EAGLE PROUD!!   This year I will be teaching 7th grade ELA and ENG II. In addition, I also serve as the guidance counselor. Visit my guidance wiki by clicking on the link on the right. This wikispace is designed to keep students and families (or any other visitors who happen upon it) informed of what is happening in the class. It is not intended to take the place of a student plan book or any other homework notebook. In the event of an absence, it is recommended that the student check the absentee file or with another responsible student in addition to this site. This website will be updated with important dates, deadlines, weekly wrap-ups, and other useful links, but its listing of classwork and homework is subject to change. I feel it is the student's responsibility to write down homework in the agenda/planner.  I am looking forward to a fantastic year!
