Welcome! Please check out my website and video to learn more about me and about English II.
Hello!
Hello!
My name is Kaitlyn Collingwood and I'm so excited to be in my third year as an South Garner Titan!
I am originally from Findlay, OH. I attended Findlay High School before moving to Columbus, OH to attend The Ohio State University, where I received my Bachelor's degree in English and my Master's degree in Education. I taught at Utica High School in Utica, OH for three years before relocating to North Carolina to be closer to my family.
In addition to teaching English and Yearbook, I enjoy spending time with my family and my cats. I love music, books, food, spending time outdoors, and video games, as well. The Legend of Zelda is my favorite series!
Please check out my Meet the Teacher video to learn more about me and reach out via TalkingPoints to keep up with what's happening in English II.

All classes typically feature 15-20 minutes of Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) or Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) throughout the week. Students will read for an extended period of time to build reading stamina, longer attention spans, increase vocabulary and strengthen reading composition. Students will choose a book and then be required to fill out SSR logs and complete a project related to their book.
Books are available to be checked out from Ms. Collingwood's classroom library, as well as the TLC! Students also have the option sign up for a FREE a Wake County Public Library card - please see instructions HERE!
