Hello eager learners and families!  Welcome to 6th grade English Language Arts!
 
My name is Jynni Discenza-Misner.  I attended the University of Minnesota - Duluth were I double majored in English and Teaching Communication Arts and Literature with a license to teach grades 5-12.  While in college, I studied abroad and lived in Ljubljana, Slovenia for nine weeks and taught grades 5-9.  While abroad, I taught English as a Second Language and English Language Arts.  In 2020, I earned my Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in reading and literacy.  
 
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughters.  We love any activity that involves being outside - hiking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, etc.  
 
I am very excited to be the Athlos Leadership Academy 6th grade English Language Arts teacher this year and am looking forward to the scholarly discussions and learning opportunities that I will have with my students.  If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding our class, please feel free to email me.
