Introduction

Hi, my name is Ciara Wheatley. I currently teach seventh grade language arts at Lebanon Middle School in Lebanon, Kentucky. This is my second year teaching, but my first year in seventh grade. I taught sixth grade last year, which was completely different. I graduated from Campbellsville University with a Bachelor's degree in middle grades education with an emphasis in English and social studies and a minor in psychology. I started graduated school at CU last year focusing on the special education program, but quickly realized that I wanted to focus on reading so I transferred to University of the Cumberlands. I am currently in the Reading and Writing Specialist Program.

My husband and I have one daughter, Makenna. She is a rambunctious six year old. I like to spend time with my family, read, and travel during my spare time. I always like to read books that I could recommend for my students. I just finished up Go Ask Alice, which I would not recommend. I am currently working on the remainder of the Life as We Knew It series and The Secret Circle. I did read The Vampire Diaries, which I loved, but that is about the only vampire book I can get into. I can't wait until this fad is over!
