VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE Video Welcome

 

While I graduated from Alvin High School, I am a loyal Manvel Maverick. 

 

This is my 14th year at MHS, and my teaching assignment for 2020-2021 is English IV all day. My conference period is 2nd (8:20 AM - 9:00AM). 

 

ENGLISH IV is all about reading and writing for various purposes for academic growth and career readiness. We will be reading and writing every day. Every other week I will meet with each student in a reading/writing conference. In addition, my classes will be exploring graphic novels as a genre and reading chapters from a non-fiction text about practical "adulting" skills as part of two grants aimed at increasing reader engagement and preparing students with 21st century skills. 

 

On a personal note, My husband of 32 years, Coach Smith, is MHS's Head Tennis coach and teaches Health and Credit Recovery.  We have three kids: Sheridan (31), Conner (29), and Ivan (26). We filled our empty nest with three joys: Roscoe (Bulldog, 5), Howie (Boston Terrier, 5), and Buttercup (Bulldog 3) . I enjoy reading, coffee, and laughing with my family and friends.

 

I look forward to another great year of teaching and learning.

 

CONFERENCE: 2nd (8:20-9:00 AM) We can schedule parent/guardian meetings virtually or by phone during conferences except Wednesdays.

 

TUTORIALS: Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM and by appointment.
