You can't stay in your corner of the forest, waiting for others to come to you; you have to go to them sometimes.
Piglet, Pooh's Little Instruction Book
Hello Everyone! As you can tell, I just love Winnie the Pooh. (If you read closely, he tells us all there is to know about life!) I'm so excited to be teaching 8th grade again this year. I've been teaching Language Arts & Reading for 14 years. I've taught Standard, Pre-IB, and Advanced Language Arts as well as Intensive Reading in grades 6-12. I spent 3 years of that time sharing my ideas and helping other teachers as a Reading Coach. During this time I learned a great deal about becoming a better teacher myself!
In 1998 I earned a Bachelor's Degree in English from The University of Central Florida (Go Knights!) & in 2008 I completed a Master's Degree in Reading Education from Nova Southeastern University. I'm certified to teach all secondary levels of Language Arts & English. I am also certified in Reading (grades K-12) and I am ESOL Endorsed.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband, Matt, and 6 year old son, Aidan. We are so excited because Aidan will be going into 1st grade this year at Williams Elementary. We love hanging out with our friends & family, swimming, going to Disney, & of course...Reading together!
I'm looking forward to a wonderful year with you! Parents and Families, PLEASE contact me anytime with any questions or concerns about your child's progress and performance.
Happy Reading Everyone!
