English Rocks! 

Miss Smith's Webpage
I am excited to be your teacher!  I look forward to working with you for the 2012-2013 school year.  It is going to be a great year!

A little bit about me... This is my tenth year teaching English!  I have a Master of Arts in Teaching from Chapman University.  I enjoy spending time with my family, visiting amusement parks, going to the beach, and of course, teaching English.
