Mrs. Sinclair's ELA Classes

Welcome! This is my 16th year of teaching and my 5th year at CMS. During the 2022-23 school year, I will be teaching 6th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and 6th grade Intensive Reading. I will also be serving as a new teacher mentor. I am a three-time Drake University graduate with a bachelor's degree in Insurance & Management, a master's degree in Business Administration, and a master's degree in Education. I hold endorsements in Reading, English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Gifted & Talented Education. Currently, I am working on my doctorate in Educational Leadership at Drake. I was named the 2016 Living History Farms Teacher of the Year and the 2018 Iowa Council for the Social Studies Elementary Teacher of the Year. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, and kayaking. My husband, Kevin, and I live in Carlisle. We have 6 children, who range in age from 30 to 12. They are all graduates of, or are currently students in, the Carlisle School District. We also have 3 grandchildren who are Wildcats. We are so proud to call Carlisle our home. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns that arise throughout this school year. Go Cats!
