About Ms. Leatham

My name is Jessica Leatham. I am from Carson City, Nevada. I am the fourth of six children, and I have four brothers and one sister. My sister and I always got along well, and my brothers and I...get along really well now. I love reading and writing (what I call the "Top Two for all English Educators). I also love music! I love to listen to it, play it, compose it - anything. I love football but only as a spectator. I follow BYU football faithfully (It's where I attended college - Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah). More than anything, though, my favorite pasttime is hanging out with my family. One goal of mine is to visit New Zealand. I would love to see the beautiful landscape and learn more about the history of the native people (the Maoris). It has always fascinated me.
I attended middle school at Eagle Valley Middle School in Carson City. Although Eagle Valley Middle School and Canyon View Junior High School are not the same school, I can remember some of the challenges and triumphs that I faced during this stage of my life, and I hope that my experiences will help me to get to know each of you better as you go through this time in your life. I remember that I often felt challenged in my classes, and I believe that I grew because of that. It is my opinion that when a teacher expects great things from her students and is willing to help every step of the way and when students are willing to work hard to reach those expectations, great things can happen. I pledge to expect great things and help you in every possible way. Students,will you pledge to live up to those expecations by working hard? Parents, will you help your child by understanding these expectations (via this class website) and helping them to reach those expectations by encouraging them to work hard? If we all do our part, great things can happen. That's my promise to all of you for this school year.
