I am Mrs. Newton, and I cannot wait to be your ELA teacher! This is my 5th year of teaching in LISD, and I love being a part of this amazing school district. 

A little bit about me: I grew up in Brenham, Texas (a small town that is famous for Blue Bell ice cream!). I earned a BFA and a MFA in Communication Design from Texas State and Louisiana Tech. My education classes were completed at SMU in Dallas. I come from a family of teachers, and grew up helping my dad prepare for his college classes, seeing my mom substitute at my school, and watching my sister begin her career in teaching. 

In my free time, I enjoy adventuring with my family, reading, and quilting. I am always wishfully planning a trip! Mr. Newton is a 7th Grade Science teacher at Stiles Middle School, and we have two children. Benny will be an 8th grader, and Leo will be in 6th grade. We have a funny dog named June, and two cats (Shosh and Douglas). 

I am so excited to get to know my students this year. I'm ready for a fun year of reading, writing, and creating together!
