Welcome to 6th grade language arts with Mrs. Covell!
“When I read I am like a bat soaring and swooping through the densest forest in the darkest night. I listen to the shining needlepoints of sound in every book I read. I am no bookworm. I am a bookbat.”

I am a bookbat and proud of it! My goal for each student in my room is to get the right book, in the right hands, at the right time! We will work hard to help everyone discover what books work and what ones are not quite right. Today there is growing agreement that literacy (the ability to read, write and think critically) is at the center of all learning.
Along with reading, I love to travel. My husband and I visited Toronto this past summer. We had dinner at the top of the CN tower, 1,151 feet above ground. What a view! When I am home, you will often find me in the kitchen trying a new recipe I saw on the Cooking Channel or trying to outsmart the deer in my garden. The deer are winning!
I have two grown sons. Grant and his wife Tricia live in Chicago with their four year old twin sons, my grandsons! They spent a week this summer at "Camp Covell"! You can see I am already trying to pass on a love for reading and great books. My other son, Andrew, lives in Los Angeles with his wife Katie. They both work in the entertainment industry.
