Sixth Grade Teacher: Reading/Language Arts
Phone: 414.482.8453

My name is Kelli Krall.  I am proud to be a sixth grade teacher at Deer Creek Intermediate.  I teach the language arts and reading subject areas for our three class sections. 

I graduated with honors from Marquette University-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in Education and English.  I am a member of Sigma Tau Delta, Marquette's English Honor Society.  I earned a master's degree from The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a focus area(s) on language arts/reading, educational psychology, and technology.  I am currently taking courses in reading and teacher leadership.   My thesis research was on the effective use of technology within a genre-based reading and writing workshop program.  

I have been an adjunct professor for Marian University for over five years; I teach Professional Composition and Research Writing, Genres in Literature, and a Capstone Portfolio course for graduating seniors.  Students in this program are earning bachelor's degrees in business.

One of my dreams is to be an author of teen fantasy fiction.  I enjoy READING, rose/perennial gardening, walking and hiking, acrylic painting, and knitting.

I enjoy reading and helping students learn the joy in finding a book that is just right for them.  Reading in my classroom is a unique and refreshing experience.  Welcome to the pages of sixth grade!
