Last month, Mrs. Melissa Avalos presented a *Teacher Spotlight* to the Rankin ISD School Board about the amazing work she leads here at Rankin ISD.
Mrs. Avalos teaches 3rd grade English Language Arts & Reading (ELAR), 3rd grade Social Studies, and 4th grade Texas History. 
Mrs. Avalos shared about how she teaches phonics, fluency, and reading skills in research-based and engaging ways. 
She also shared about her LOVE of Texas History, highlighting some of the amazing projects her students have done this year! 
Mrs. Avalos is focused on growing better readers and citizens by improving students' reading fluency, connecting reading and the real-world, and developing pride in our great state. She also builds strong relationships with the students she teaches. 
Join us in celebrating the awesome work Mrs. Avalos does for Rankin ISD!
