Mrs. James' Adventures of Teaching

Greetings Parents and Students!

I am excited to work with you to discover your reading and writing talents this school year. This is my 9th year teaching at Nolan Ryan Junior High School. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Communications/English from Texas Southern University. As I have told my two sons, Jonathan and Justin, as well as my husband of 29 years, that "reading takes you places," it has taken my family to almost all of the 50 states! As we travel, I love to find things in my favorite color, purple, and eat all types of seafood. When we are not shopping or eating, I enjoy reading a great book near the water.

I hope to instill in each of you my love of reading so that you will become life long readers and learners. Each year brings new excitement and fun! I look forward to working with each of you as we strive for excellence.
