Welcome to Middle School ELA! I am Ms. Ashley Woodward. I teach 6th through 8th Grade English Language Arts. I am also the 7th-grade homeroom teacher and House of Saint Pope John Paul II leader. In addition to academics, I coach Middle School Volleyball and Track.
I have an MA in Educational Studies with a K-12 Reading Endorsement from the University of St. Thomas. I also earned my BS in Education from the University of St. Thomas in 2016. Go Tommies! I have always loved reading and writing and want to foster that love in younger generations. Students can explore different literary genres, periods, and ways of life through our classroom novels. Students will further develop their writing and grammar abilities through creative and expository writing projects and public speaking. They will learn the valuable skills required to analyze information and synthesize it into their own words.
In my free time, I love to play with my dog, Millie, spend time with my loved ones, and try to be outside enjoying the weather as much as Minnesota allows.
