Welcome to 8th grade LA!!

Hello! My name is Justin Dodd. This is my 5th year in teaching. I have literally taught every grade from kindergarten to 8th grade, and I have always maintained that middle school is where I belong. I'm originally from Riverside, California, but have been living in Colorado since 2018. I have a bachelor's degree in English Literature and a master's degree in Education. I also have a cat that is extremely spoiled. 

Language Arts is a passion of mine. I love getting kids excited about reading and writing and always strive to make my class fun. I believe in each and every one of my students, and always push them to achieve excellence in everything they do. If you would like to contact me, the best way is through email: jdodd@dcsdk12.org. 

I look forward to a wonderful year with you all!!!
