About Mrs. R

I am thrilled to be your 6th-grade block teacher this year! This is my 10th  year at Pleasanton Middle School. Before coming to PMS, I taught 6th grade at Hart Middle School. I have taught many grades throughout my teaching career, and 6th grade is my favorite! I look forward to discovering ancient civilizations with you as we learn about people who developed thriving social and economic systems; many of these civilizations made incredible contributions that impact our world today.  We will meet unforgettable characters as we read shared novels and short stories.  One of my passions is teaching writing, and I am excited to watch you all develop as writers.  We are going to have a fantastic year together in  Room 603!

I live in Pleasanton with my husband; we have two beloved pets who live with us- our dog, Maxx, and Mittens, our 19-year-old cat.  I have two sons, Josh and Ben. Josh works here in Plesanton and Ben is in grad school at Northern Arizona University. When I'm not spending time with my family, I enjoy exercising, knitting, or reading a good book.  I can also be found cheering on my favorite Bay Area teams (49ers and Warriors), walking my dog, or enjoying our beautiful downtown. I look forward to getting to know you all as the year progresses!
