    “Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher”. Joe Manchin
    Welcome to 6,7and 8th grade reading class! I have an exciting and rigorous curriculum for this school year, and looking forward to a fantastic year and hope that students will not only learn to really enjoy reading but will also be prepared for future ELA classes. I believe that through encouragement, support, and fun, by both parents and teacher reading class will successfully educate and hopefully inspire our young students to achieve more than we can ever imagine.
