Just who is YOUR 6th grade language arts teacher? I am Elisa Westfall, and this is my 20th year teaching Language Arts at CrossRoads Intermediate School.

I love teaching language arts and people often ask me why. The answer is simple: I think that 6th grade language arts students are the coolest kids around! I firmly believe that this is the absolute best grade, and this year I will prove it to you. I am a National Board Certifed English/Language Arts teacher and earned both my BA and MA in Education from the home of the “Fighting Koalas,” Columbia College!

My husband, 3 daughters, and I stay very busy with a cat, honey bees, leopard geckos, and a ball python--all of whom are FEMALE! My family loves to read, hike, and explore.

Here are few of my favorite things:

Books - The Watsons Go to Birmingham- 1963, Because of Winn Dixie, Wonder

Genres- Realistic fiction and poetry  

Movies- The Sound of Music, Mamma Mia! (Watch out, I may sing!)

Food- Mashed potatoes and chocolate chip cookies (not together)

Condiment- Tabasco (I love it, and I put it on almost everything!)

Hobbies- reading, hiking, shopping, watching movies with my family

Stuff- chili peppers, coffee, fun pens, and BOOKS!

Fun times- ZUMBA!

This is going to be a great year!
