About me
Welcome to AMS 8th Grade English/Language Arts. My schedule this year is as follows:
1st - Honors ELA
2nd - Conference
3rd - ELA
Advisory
5th - ELA
6th - ELA
7th - Honors ELA
8th - Honors ELA
This is my twentieth year teaching at AMS after subbing while pursuing a Master's in Teaching degree. It's not "work" when you love what you do every day.
I promise you will leverage your curiosity in an energetic and entertaining environment that embraces all learners and encourages "why's" and "what if's?"
I am only an email away and welcome exchanges with students and parents/guardians, and promise a timely response.
