Description

													Hi everyone! My name is Teacher Katelyn, and I am excited to get to know everyone! I have taught with SOAR KIDZ for over a year. Outside of SOAR KIDZ, I have been a middle school and high school English/Language Arts and Creative Writing teacher for 4 years. I view my classes as a collaborative experience in which the students and I learn from one another. I believe it is important to not only focus on the knowledge/wisdom that I can share with my students but also on all of the things that they can share with me and with each other. The best thing about SOAR KIDZ is truly the relationships that are formed as we come together each week to share our reflections on the reading in a space where we all feel comfortable and empowered. One book series that I recommend to students that we have not read together so far is the Percy Jackson series because these are the books that truly made me fall in love with reading and decide to become an English teacher.
