DeLair

Hello. My name is Leslie-Anne DeLair. I just started my second year working for Estacada AllPrep Academy. My certification is in 5-12 Language Arts (LA) and Pre-K through 12 reading. Since most of my students do their work online, using Odyssey Ware, I spend a lot of time creating supplemental activities that enhance their online learning experience. This year, I’m partnering with our other LA teacher to create a high school writing class and individual novel units using WIMBA and Moodle. I’m very excited about these projects.

I enjoy working with technology and learning new programs and tricks that make my life and job easier. However, these skills do not always come second nature to me. I usually tackle new tech projects by staring at them head on. Seriously, I stare at a screen until I understand. It might be surprising, but this actually works (well, sometimes). ;-)

When I am not staring at my computer, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Patrick, and my 8-month old baby boy, Everett. My family and friends mean the world to me, so I try to spend as much time as possible with them. I love spending time in the outdoors. I enjoy cooking, baking, sewing, knitting, taking pictures, watching movies, jogging, riding bikes, and reading. A perfect day for me is grabbing a mug-o-coffee and getting lost in the stacks at Powell’s.
