My name is Sheila Parnell. I have been teaching since the Fall of 2001 and each year has been completely different than the last. I've taught junior kindergarten through 7th grade.... some of those junior kindergarteners are now in my 7th grade class. I know my students and they know me. I am not just a teacher, I am the one who must light their fire. I teach my students the expectations that are set for us within the common core standards while also seeing to their individual needs and helping them to grow from where they are at right now. However, I also believe in showing them the realities of life and giving them the passion to live their life to their complete potential all while instilling within their hearts the love of God.

A Series of Unfortunate Events
Our class has decided to read the entire "Series of Unfortunate Events" together. For most of the students, this is one of their favorite times of the day. As a class, we love making predictions about what horrible thing will be happening next and trying to play the detective role along side of the Baudelaire children. Currently we are on book 9 of the 13 books.
