• Hello everyone and welcome to my webpage.
    My name is Mrs. Kieffer and I am very excited about teaching 6th grade ELA.  I was in 5th grade for several years at Akron Elementary. Before coming to Akron, I taught 6th grade for 2 years at a school called Cassadaga Valley in Chautauqua County.  It is great to be back in the grade where I first started my teaching career.
    ELA is my favorite subject!!!  There is nothing better than getting to share my favorite books and reading strategies everyday with students and parents.  I have been reading since I was little.  I still remember my mother reading my favorite story to me before bed each night.  It was called "The Monster at the end of this BOOK,"  and I still have it today.  Now my two favorite books are Walk Two Moons and Pictures of Hollis Woods. 
    Besides reading,  I do have other favorite activities.  I LOVE the ocean and go whenever I can.  Waterskiing, shopping, traveling,  going to the movies, and spending time with my family are things I really enjoy.   I look forward to reading with you this year!:)
