Dear Students and Parents,
My name is Ms.Tinker and I will be your teacher this year. I am excited to begin my twenty-first year of teaching. Though I am a Wyoming Native, my career has taken me many places including Nebraska and Alaska. I am glad to now call Mountain View home. Being outdoors is a passion for my family; we love hiking, bicycling, and skiing. Other engrossing pastimes of mine include include reading, writing, and playing the fiddle. I am married and have two children, two cats, and an obnoxious dog.
My goal for this year is to help you become better readers, writers, speakers, listeners, and thinkers. The way to be better is to practice reading, writing, speaking, and listening. There will hard things and easy things in this class. I want you to know that if the going gets tough, please let me know so I can help you. I have been in the teaching .profession for almost twenty years and the one thing I know for sure is that every year is different, every school is different and every student is different. I expect I will learn from you, just as I have learned from all of my former students.
Please check out the Useful Links tab to find out more about the courses I will be teaching and the expectations I have for students.
Sincerely,
Mandy Tinker
