Hello families,
I'm so glad that students were so engaged in the story "Lob's Girl," and I think students will be able to relate to our story this week, "Eleven."
Thank you for a very successful first full week of classes, students! Keep up the good work getting assignments done on time and following instructions.
Families, if you have any questions along the way, please email me at kcain@iltexas.org. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Kristen Cain

Hello students and families! I look forward to supporting all of my students in their reading and writing this year. This is my seventh year teaching sixth grade RLA, and my third year at ILTexas. In my free time, I enjoy running, reading history and biographies, and volunteering in town. One fun fact about me is that otters are my favorite animal!
