Ms. Mundy is thrilled to have another year as 6th grade
reading teacher at LKMS. Ms. Mundy helped to open LKMS and spent three years
at BBMS as reading instructional leader and reading specialist. Ms. Mundy
returned to the classroom and LKMS to enjoy the creativity and energy that can
only be found in the middle school classroom. Ms. Mundy loves middle schoolers
and understands their hectic life and their needs. The best part about middle
school is the students themselves.
This is Ms. Mundy's 16th year teaching in the Howard County Public School
System. She has a bachelor's degree in Secondary English Education and a
Master's Degree from Loyola College as a certified Reading Specialist.
Ms. Mundy has two children of her own - both former Howard County Public
School students. Her 21 year-old daughter Alex is a graduate of Glenelg High
School and is currently a senior at Vanderbilt University. She is playing
lacrosse for the Dores. Jimmy is a freshman student at Salisbury University
and a former student at Centennial High School. He is on the soccer team at
Salisbury as a midfielder.
When Ms. Mundy isn't watching games, she finds herself on a soccer or lacrosse
field somewhere on the east coast.
Last but not least, Ms. Mundy also has a wonderful husband named Jim who
teaches AP Government and Honors Government classes at Glenelg High School.
He is madly in love with Sanny's sister - a Chihuahua named Tiger or Tiggles.
Ms. Mundy loves to "belt out" a song once in a while...so beware!!!!!! The
acting bug has bitten, so Ms. Mundy will be directing the LKMS musical of Once
Upon a Mattress. She's looking forward to having creative fun with her students!
In the old days, when Ms. Mundy actually had time, she would love to perform
on any stage at any time!
"SPECIAL CODE PHRASE: READING ROCKS!!!"
My mission for my reading classes is to instill the joy and importance of
reading in ALL of my students. I hope to impress upon my students the
absolute necessity of becoming an active, strategic reader so that all
students will be successful in high school and beyond. Students will be
given the tools to handle all levels of text - and it is my hope that they
will incorporate those tools into their daily lives. My students will also
become successful in their ability to express in writing their understanding
of all levels of text. Most importantly, my students will become
independent, critical readers.
