I am with “my people” when we’re reading literature, and have a lot of fun talking and nerding out about books. It’s limitless! I especially love how my students make connections to the literature and identify with authors. When my students and I look at literature, I never know where the conversations will go or the topics we’ll be exploring together. Language Arts encompasses all aspects of life. What’s the best part about teaching Language Arts? Needless to say, I really know the neighborhood well, and I have always felt that it was my school because it’s in my neighborhood. It was there that I learned how to ride a bike, drive a car, and grew up. My current school is in the same place where a parking lot used to be. I currently teach eighth grade Language Arts at Mendez Fundamental Intermediate in Santa Ana, Calif.-and I’m in my 26th year in the Santa Ana Unified School District. Can you tell us about what and where you teach, and how long you’ve been doing it?
