6th Grade Reading Language Arts

About me

Hi! My name is Patti Golden.   I live in Wichita Falls now, but I grew up in Houston. 

 I went to a small elementary school.  We had the same 25 kids from Kindergarten to 8th grade.  I graduated from J.L McCullough High School in The Woodlands.  My graduating class had over 450 students!  I have a Bachelor's Degree in Management from Concordia University in Austin, a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Midwestern and I took my teaching classes at Midwestern. 

I married my college sweetheart, John.  We have a son who works in the car finance industry in the Metroplex. We have a daughter who designs and sells commercial kitchens to places like Dunkin’ Donuts, Panera Bread and Chili’s.  We have had dogs, but currently we are a cat family.  Maggie (Magnolia) and Daisy are about two years old.  Riley Cat lis semi-retired as a cat.

I have several hobbies. I like to watch old movies and learn movie trivia.  At one time, I taught an afterschool class in classic film.  I enjoy playing with our cats.  I like to spend time with John and his family, they are very funny people. In my spare time, I swim, dance, sew, read and sleep.

I have been teaching for 20 years.  I have taught 3rd, 5th and 6th grades.  I have been the Instructional Reading Coach for grades K-5.  This is my fifth year at Petrolia.   I will be teaching 5th, and 6th grade Reading and Language Arts. As a teacher, I love to see students get excited about reading.
