Mrs. Sheppard's 6th Grade Language Arts Website

About Me:

I obtained my Bachelors of Arts in English from Rutgers University and my Master of Arts degrees in Education and Administration from the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers.  This is my fifteenth year teaching at Roosevelt Intermediate School.

My teaching career began as a high school English teacher as a maternity leave replacement.  I was eager to come to Roosevelt because the move allowed me to teach at the middle level, which is what I had always wanted to do!  I truly enjoy bridging the gap from elementary to high school and I love this age group.  I find that middle school students carry a unique energy and attitude that I continue to look forward to year after year.  

When I'm not in the language arts classroom, you can find me playing with my four-year-old son and two-year-old daughter playing tennis, traveling, shopping, and participating In activities at RIS.  Get involved and help make our Roosevelt community a better place!
