Welcome to 8th Grade ELA!

My name is Krislyn Hunt, and I am so excited to be your teacher this year! I was born and raised in Biloxi, MS, so I am very glad to get to be a Biloxi Indian (you don't always hear that from a former Warrior)! I graduated from Mississippi State University (GO DAWGS!) with a degree in education in May of 2020, and in December of the same year, I married my wonderful husband, Ethan. We have four fur babies; Pepper and Harley Blue are our dogs and Leo and Lynx are our cats, and we have a few exotics as well! :)  This year will be my 3rd year in the classroom and my first year as the assistant archery coach for the high school.

English was and is my favorite subject and passion. I have wanted to become a teacher for as long as I can remember, so I am grateful that I get to share this experience with all of you. This year, we will be reading several short stories as well as a nonfiction novel, Unbroken, all of which we will use to broaden our reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. I am prepared to provide you with the tools necessary to be successful in my class this year! I cannot wait to see what this year has in store for us!

Hobbies of mine include spending time with my friends and family, playing with my pets, reading, watching sports, traveling, and fishing.
