Hello students and parents,
I am currently a sixth grade language arts teacher at Indian Trail Middle.
I graduated from East Tennessee State University and have taught at South Side Elementary and Liberty Bell Middle before coming to Indian Trail. My hushand and I graduated from E.T.S.U. and liked Johnson City so much that we decided to stay! This is an awesome area, and we love living here.
OVERVIEW OF MY SUBJECT AREA
LANGUAGE ARTS: Language arts in sixth grade consists of grammar, reading skills, writing skills, and our Latin/Greek based vocabulary program called AH-HA. Throughout the year, we apply our language arts skills in unit studies of books such as TANGERINE, OLD YELLER, and IN THE YEAR OF THE BOAR AND JACKIE ROBINSON.
Students will complete an indepth research and writing skills project on Jackie Robinson during the second nine week period.
PARENTS, it is so important that we keep lines of communication open throughout the year. Please contact me at school (610-6000) or through email (taylorv@jcschools.org) any time you have questions or just want to check up on your student's progress. Another valuable tool we use at ITMS is the time tracker. Students use this to write each day's assignments and additional information that they need to make note of. Please check this periodically to see what we're doing in the sujbect areas. This is truly a great communication tool!!
