Welcome to our 7th grade Language Arts Class page!  This is my 19th year of teaching and I am looking forward to this adventure with all of you!  I am originally from West Viriginia, the smallest county in the state.  You would be able to drive from one state, through my county, and into another state all in five minutes!  What is the name of the state you can start in, my home county, and the state you end in?  Ten bonus points for correct answers! LOL.

My son, Jackson, and daughter, Grace will be attending Myakka River Elementary this year.  Jackson will join the Cougar family next year!         

I cannot wait to share my love of reading with you and cannot wait to get to know all of you!
