Welcome to 8th Grade ELAR.  I have been teaching for several years at Edna Junior High, and prior to that, I taught 4th grade for nine years.  I am married and have three grown children and one granddaughter.  I graduated from Edna High School in 1981, and from University of Houston-Victoria in 1987 with Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, general ed., with a specialization in Reading.
