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 sons, Jonathan and Justin, "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.
