Meet Ms. waddell!!

Hello everyone and welcome to the 6th Grade ELA website!

Here is a little background information about myself so we can get to know each other a little better!! :-)

• I was born and raised right here in Louisiana, MO. I grew up on my parent's farm outside of town and graduated from LHS in 2015.

• After high school, I moved to Cape Girardeau, MO and attended Southeast Missouri State University. I graduated in December 2018 with my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Development and an emphasis in Sociology/Social Sciences.

• I moved back to Louisiana in 2019 to be closer to my family. My boyfriend and I just bought our first house together back in March!

• I am currently working towards my Master's Degree at Lindenwood University in School and Professional Counseling. I am also taking classes to work toward my teaching certification.

• This will be my third year teaching in the Louisiana School District. On top of teaching ELA, I also coach middle school cheerleading and track!

• I am also a huge Harry Potter & Star Wars nerd and I love traveling (especially to the mountains)!

• I can't wait to meet all of my new students this year and start learning more about you!! :-)
