Reggie- My Mini Schnauzer

Hello, thank you for visiting my website. My name is Tezra Volkmar.  Yes, I know; it's not easy! My last name is of German origin, so please, feel free to call me Ms. V! I teach 6th Grade World History, and I hope you will love history as much as I do! I have taught every grade from 6th grade through 12th grade, and I have taught most of the social studies topics.  However, history is my favorite, especially European and World History!

I am from the Tri-Cities (Kingsport, Bristol, and Johnson City)  in Northeast Tennessee, right along the Tennessee and  Virginia border, which is about 2.5 hours north of Travelers Rest.  Having always lived in the Appalachias, I am a mountain girl at heart!

I am a Tennessee Tech University graduate.  I have a BS in Political Science with a strong minor in History, and a MAEd in Curriculum and Instruction in Secondary Social Studies.

I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, traveling, cooking and canning, and watching historical dramas and documentaries.  I have two children.  My son's name is Christian, and he is a 20-year-old college student.  My daughter's name is Victoria. She is 17 and a senior. I also have a much-loved Mini-Schnauzer named Reggie, who thinks he is my third child.  I love to travel, and I am a true Anglophile (love of all things British).  I have traveled to England and Scotland on a couple of occasions and would love to return someday!
