About Mrs. Allen

I am so excited to be teaching language arts again! My two favorite school subjects just happen to be reading and writing, so this is the perfect fit for me. Before teaching at Skyridge, I taught sixth grade for a few years near Bellingham, Washington. I love sixth grade and I am excited for the year to come!

My family and I enjoy hiking and exploring the beautiful green spaces in our area (Lacamas and Round Lake! Ridgefield Wildlife Preserve! Salmon Creek!) where we are always on the lookout for wildlife. The most amazing outdoor experience I have had is snorkeling and seeing turtles and an electric eel- definitely a bucket list moment! This summer we went to Washington DC to soak up the sights and a lot of American History.

Along with hiking, I enjoy biking, walking, gardening, cooking, drinking coffee, watercolor painting, playing board games, singing, and reading good YA novels.
