I grew up in Blacksburg and, after graduating from Randolph Macon College in
1981, took a teaching position at BMS. In addition to teaching, my time is
spent golfing with my husband, bowling on 2 leagues, singing and playing
guitar in a band, taking nature photos, writing poetry, and working word
puzzles. I also enjoy summers across the state in Gloucester
County where my
parents have a cottage on the water.
My husband,Rickey,and I call Craig County home. We
live "2 mountains over and to the right" if you ever need to find me. We have
4 dogs (two beagles:Daisy and Molly; a tri-colored lab
we named 'Diamond-in-the-Rough':Diamond for short); a year-old hound/lab mix
named T-bone ,and a cat with
Cerebellar Hypoplasia. (She's an uncoordinated klutz with limited fine motor
skills). Her name is Hunny and she's given us lots of laughs in her 9 years
of life.
Looking forward to November when Rickey and I will become "young"
grandparents. My daughter Tanya and her hubby are expecting a little girl and
my mom and dad and I will be traveling south to Florida to see the new
arrival. Hopefully, I will post lots of pictures on the webpage.
I enjoy working with 7th graders who, just by their very nature, never let me
get bored with my career choice!
To help students learn how to learn through the basics of reading and
writing. The class focus is literature-based and discussions, projects, and
writings stem from the various reading assignments. Emphasis is placed on
a study of poetry, grammar, short stories, and selected readings from novels
and the literature book as well as writing.
