About Me
I teach 8th grade English/Language Arts and English I. I was a member of VT for a few years. I've been out maybe a year and I can't believe all the changes! I can't wait to navigate the site to see what else has changed since I was here last.

Favorite Word:
pulchritudinousMy students love this word. They can't believe it means "beautiful." It sounds like a word that would describe the stuff a cat coughs up. Once we learn the word they use it as much as possible.
