Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to 7th Grade English! My name is Ms. Kelly Hale, and I am excited to partner with you and your child this year as we dive into reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking together.
A little about me—I am originally from Fort Worth, Texas, and I have been teaching middle school English for several years. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Gerontology from Asheville University and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Secondary Education. I truly believe that education is a lifelong journey, and I want my students to experience that same love of learning.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy photography, interior design, cooking, and all things aviation. I am also the proud mom of three grown children, all graduates of Texas Tech University. In my classroom, I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves, exploring new ideas, and challenging themselves academically.
We will be working on reading comprehension, writing skills, vocabulary development, and literary analysis, all while tying these lessons to the Oklahoma state standards. My goal is to equip students with the tools they need to succeed in English this year and beyond.I strongly value communication and collaboration with families.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever have questions, concerns, or just want to check in about your child’s progress. I look forward to getting to know each of you and building a partnership that helps your child thrive.
Thank you for trusting me with your child’s education. Together, we are going to make this a wonderful year in 7th-grade English!
Warmly,
Ms. Kelly Hale
7th Grade English Teacher
