As you may know, I am married to Mr. Fix, the in-house historian. What you may not know is that I love history too. However, all things English Language Arts is my true academic love.
I recently retired from 27 years in public education, and I am happy to be at St. Mary’s where I can now read with students and spend quality time picking apart and analyzing text.
When I discovered the opening at St. Mary’s, I prayed with excitement and immediately applied. As a result, I am blessed to serve this community, and its children by helping create wonderful human beings who love the Lord, reading, and writing.
In class, students will analyze authors' moves to become better readers and writers. We will use mentor text to guide our writing and grammar; we will use inquiry to guide our minds. We will develop the skill of discourse and support our thinking with evidence. We will come home, talk to our family members about our endeavors, and earn extra credit for sharing our learning. In short, we will develop fortitude, empathy, insight, and balance, which will help us lead a life centered on Christ.
I believe in teaching the whole child, and I see myself as a mentor, guide, and teacher. If you ever need anything, please contact me. I am here to serve you and your child/children. I see this as a partnership, and I desire to be the best every day.
