The 2022-23 school year at Kitty Hawk Middle School will be exciting and enriching for your 6th grade ELAR student!  This will be my 8th year at Kitty Hawk teaching ELAR. I graduated from The University of Montana in Missoula,  Montana,  where I received my Bachelor's degree in Wildlife Biology.  I later attained my teaching certification through the Region 20 Education Service Center in San Antonio.  Although I have an obvious interest in science, I am also an avid reader.  I enjoy discussing novels of different genres. This will be my eighth year at Kitty Hawk Middle School as an English Language Arts and Reading Teacher. I have enjoyed teaching students from a variety of academic backgrounds:  general education, special education, and honors students. 

This year we will sharpen reading comprehension skills, engage readers in literary analysis, and practice the writing process.  I am looking forward to the new school year and I am looking forward to getting to know my students.  Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.  My goal is for my students to be successful.
