6th Grade English / Language Arts

Welcome to Ms. Riddle's 6th Grade ELA

Introduction

I am so excited to work with you and your scholar! It’s going to be a year full of fun, innovation, learning, and lots of adventures. I can’t wait to see what the rest of our year has in store for us!

I am from Savannah, Georgia and received my education from Savannah State University! I am thrilled to be teaching your scholar English/Language Arts as they embark on their journey through middle school beginning their 6th grade years. It is my mission to instill a love for learning in my students. I attempt to teach with creativity and passion, so that my students develop a desire to become life-long learners.

Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas. It is so important to keep communication open between us and I would love to talk to you whenever you feel the need! I look forward to a great year together!

Go Astros!
