ENGLISH
My name is Tara Walker, and I am so excited to be your
son or daughter’s 8th grade English teacher! I
am a first-year teacher, so I look forward to learning
alongside your student this year. We will cover many
exciting topics over the next few months, including
the novel The Giver, by Lois Lowry. Besides teaching
English, I will also be an assistant coach in volleyball,
cross-country, and track.
I hope that we will soon get to know each other over
during this school year. I am married and I have two
children—Tyler, age 5, and Cody, age 3. Tyler
just started kindergarten this year, so this is going
to be a busy year for my family. In my spare time (which
is becoming very scarce!), I like to read, especially
historical fiction.
Again, I look forward to meeting each and every one
of you and helping to prepare your son or daughter for
high school!
