    I am very excited about teaching literature at Northside this year! This is my  24th year of teaching. I taught 5th and 6th grades my first five years in Houston, Texas. Since then, I have taught middle school language arts.
     
    I recieved my bachelor's degree from Indiana State University and my master's degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. I am also a certified English as a Second Language teacher.
     
    I have two children, Trevor and Megan. Trevor is a freshman at East, and Megan is an eighth grader here at Northside. My family and I enjoy camping, swimming, baseball, softball, and going to the beaches in Florida!

    All Trailblazer students are responsible for reading AR books.
     
     
    Reading is essential to success across the content areas.
    Each student should be reading 20 minutes per night to gain fluency and vocabulary.
     

    All students have an AR point goal to reach each nine week period.

It includes the results of AR quizzes taken at school, the number of quizzes taken, which books they have read and quizzed on, and other relevant information.  Parents, you can even input your email address and request an update each time your student takes a quiz!  Just click on Email Setup to sign up. 
     
    Your child cannot take Accelerated Reader quizzes at home.
