    Instructor: Mr. LaBud

    Welcome to English Language Arts with Mr. LaBud!
     
    This year, students will work towards high school, college, and career readiness by exercising analytical skills and practicing critical thinking through reading and writing. Through a variety of workshops, collaborative engagement, individual exploration, and cooperative goal setting, each student will have the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to succeed in their future and to pursue their passions and dreams. 

  • Mr. Tim LaBud

    My name is Tim LaBud and I will be your student's English/Language Arts teacher for the 2021-2022 school year. I have taught ELA and social studies across 7th and 8th grade over the 7 years that I've been at Gurrie. I received a Bachelor’s in English from the School of Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with an endorsement in Spanish. I also have a Master's of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University and an ESL endorsement from the University of St. Francis. 

    Additionally, I have enjoyed working with students outside of the classroom through extracurricular programs such as cross country, volleyball, various book clubs, and speech team competitions. I am excited to work with you and your student to build a productive and engaging school community and to provide your learner with the best possible middle school experience!
