Students will learn to pay attention to what they are reading: the setting, plot, characters, and events.  Students will learn to pick out important aspects of the story, to recall, and talk about the story in chronological order.  Students will identify what is happening in the story and, why certain things are happing in the story--how the different events are related.   I will encourage students to be avid readers.

I have a Master's Degree, semi-retired, and now I work with students from kindergarten through high school as a substitute teacher, afterschool tutoring, writing plays and skits.
My philosophy; “No one can take away your education.”  
I encourage students to have fun learning and to take ownership in their education.
I have a great rapport with students.  I enjoy telling stories, flying kites, cooking on a campfire, building parade floats, tutoring after school, attending students' sports events with their parents.  I hear from kids and parents, “Where do you get your energy?”  Teacher James
