Hello! My name is Jen Edler and I will be your 7th grade Humanities (LA/SS) teacher. I have taught
in St. Louis, Missouri and in the Portland metro area for eight years. Within those years I’ve taught in 6,
7, and 8th grade classrooms and on two, three, and four person teaching teams. My
most recent teaching experience was in Beaverton School District at Stoller Middle School. I’m so
excited to be working here at Beverly Cleary. We are going to work hard this year, but we will also have
a lot of fun.
Our mission this year is to learn about ourselves and our world. I guess that is true of every year. But
really, this year we will be thinking a lot about who we are, what our world is like, where is our place in
the world, and how the world has become the place it is today. It is a lot to cover in a school year. But,
we will tackle it and see where we end up. This year we will read a ton of books, write like
crazy, and have fun learning about and discussing history. We will also think critically about issues that
affect us today and/or have greatly affected the world throughout history.
