Welcome to Alexander Middle School and to fifth grade! It is hard to believe, but I have been a teacher for 28 years! I love teaching reading and writing to middle schoolers because they are always so excited to share ideas and eager to learn new things. I have to admit that reading is my number one, all-time favorite hobby, but when I am not lost in a good book, I am doing things with my family. We usually do fun activities like bike riding, hiking, camping, and just enjoying the outdoors. My husband and I spend most of our weekends hanging out with our dog Penny and visiting with our children- our daughter is an Aggie (whoop!) and our son is serving in the military.
