Class overview

In this class, we will continue to build our English language arts skills. We will work on reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. These abilities will be developed within the context of different literary units. I look forward to a great year!

About me

I will be entering my 20th year of teaching this year. I have taught 7th grade ELA for the last 16 years. My wife is a kindergarten teacher at Powers Elementary school. We share three awesome kids: Cody, Kylie and Carter. I love reading, sports and playing games with my family.
