Miss Wesson in the Middle

I am a 3rd year teacher. Going into my 3rd year, I have taught or will be teaching the following grade levels and subject areas: 7th grade ELA, 6th grade ELA, 6th grade Social Studies, 5th grade Social Studies, and 4th grade ELA Remediation. Prior to beginning my teaching career, I spent time gaining experience observing, participating, and teaching in the following grade levels and subject areas: Adult ESL Education, 7th grade Reading, 9th grade English I, 11th grade English III, 12th grade English IV, High School Creative Writing, Gifted Education, and Middle School After School Care.

I am what they call a "townie teacher" being that I grew up and attended the same schools that I now teach in. Literature and language are my true loves and having the opportunity to teach just that, as well as incorporate it cross-curricular in Social Studies is a DREAM. Engaging my kiddos in learning and convincing them to believe that education can be FUN is my passion! My classroom revolves around respect, honesty, community, love, and positivity (and a little bit of crazy). I believe that middle schoolers are the BEST schoolers, and I wouldn't want to be Ms. Wesson anywhere but IN THE MIDDLE.

I graduated from Louisiana State University with a B.A. in English with a concentration in secondary education. I am currently pursuing my M.Educational Leadership and furthering my education through graduate coursework at Southeastern Louisiana University.

My name is Kristen Wesson! I am a Disney-obsessed 6th grade ELA and Social Studies teacher in a small town in southeast Louisiana- a sweet little community known as Watson. I am a GLOW (Go Light Our World) Club sponsor at my school, as well as the Cheerleading sponsor. I also am a coach for Live Oak Recreational Cheerleading.
