Miss Liz's 6th Grade ELA Reading
Welcome!
About Ms. Liz
My name is Liz Compton, and I am new to TCIS this year! I have taught for 15 years, and I love learning languages and sharing stories with students and their families. I am excited about this year's stories for 6th grade because they show us people who are brave and generous in good times and in hard times.
