All About Ms. Huepfel.
Welcome to 6th grade! I can't wait to take you on an amazing adventure this year! This is my 19th year of teaching in West Deptford. After teaching 4th and 5th grade Math, Science, Social Studies, and ELA, I decided that it was time to finally focus on my passion...Language Arts! So, I took a leap to 6th grade ELA 5 years ago.
My interest in writing started as a hobby when I was a kid and led me to an English degree (Writing concentration) from Rider University. Following in my mom's footsteps, I realized that teaching was in my blood, and I earned my Master's degree in Elementary Education from Wilmington University. It gives me an enormous amount of pride to teach in the town where I grew up and to follow in my mom's footsteps where she spent her entire teaching career! We are EAGLES!
Growing up, I was NOT a strong reader, but as an adult, I've grown to LOVE my books...even more than TV! Sometimes it just takes finding authors that we love and books that we can't put down.
My goal this year is help YOU find those books and stories that truly change YOUR life!
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Dave, my two step-daughters (10th grade & 4th grade), and our new cockapoo puppy, Rocco. I love swimming, gardening, hanging out in the backyard, chit chatting with my mom and sister, and exercising! I love setting hard-to-reach goals and working hard to achieve them.
I hope that I can help YOU challenge yourself, too. You'll be surprised when you realize what you're capable of!
