Hey Guys! Welcome to Practical Writing! I am so excited to start this school year. It has been a long few years, but I know you are ready to hone your writing skills and find success. I want to send a special welcome to those of you who also had me last school year. Welcome back, guys! Please know that I missed you a great deal over the summer, and I am thrilled to have you again. If you're not in my class anymore, and you are just checking out my web page, then please come by the classroom and visit!! 

Remember, this is my first year in a new classroom!! I am now in room C243. 

This is a new class for me this year, so we are all starting our Practical Writing Journey together.  Don't be worried that some things are different, because all the important things have stayed the same:

          - We will read, write, think and talk every day.

          - We are a family.

          - I am here for you.

          - I want to help you in any way I can with my class and with your other classes as well.

For those of you who may not know, I graduated from The University of Florida in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Linguistics and a focus on Second Language Acquisition. I have spent the past 13 years teaching all levels of high school English and both levels of ESOL and Academic Literacy and Reading. 

I am thrilled to be a part of the rich tradition that is Macarthur High School. 

And Remember, GOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooOOOOOOO BRAHMAS!
