Hello! I'm Raquel Norwood, and I teach 7th and 8th grade Language Arts and Reading at LaSalle Middle School. LaSalle is such a welcoming environment for students and faculty! In my teaching, I love to do novel studies and get students reflecting about what they read, as well as about their own lives. I like to break the writing process into manageable pieces that don't overwhelm. I also love to have students make connections and build up their writing and reading skill sets. I really enjoy being a part of the supportive and fun community here at LaSalle!
