Ms. Avison shares about new class, pregnancy, and herself

By Ann Weathers

I went down to Language Arts and Social Studies teacher, Jana Avison, to interview her about her new class on computers, and I asked simple questions about this interesting blend. This is a sneak peak interview:

Reporter: What is this class about?
Ms. Avison: It’s a regular 6th grade block class, Language Arts and Social Studies. The only difference is it's the same work, just on computers.
Reporters: Is there anything unique about a class on the computer?

Mrs. Avison: Well, we are able to do more research and it’s easier to let them do their work on their own.
Reporter: How does it help the students' skills?
Mrs. Avison: Well, they learn more about technology more easily, and learn more about exploring the Internet.
Reporter: What does the class revolve around?
Mrs. Avison: We use Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, no printing, the use of Gmail, and Internet at ton!

Our last question before the interview was:
Reporter: How do you feel about this exciting class?
Mrs. Avison: I think it’s really great, and the kids seem to be really into it!
That was our story on the class on the computer!

In further Ms. Avison news, she's having a baby!

Ms. Avison isn’t only a great teacher but she is going to be a great mommy! We hear she is going to have a baby boy, so we interviewed her. Here is the scoop:

Reporter: How far along are you?
Mrs. Avison: I am now just 21 weeks.
Reporter: When do you think he is due?
Mrs. Avison: I am due around March 7, around spring!
Reporter: What is the baby’s full name?
Mrs. Avison: We are naming him Finn Tokola Avison; Tokola is the father, JJ's mom’s maiden name.
Reporter: What are some characteristics you wish your baby will have?
Mrs. Avison: I want him to have curly hair, be creative, and like to read a lot.
Reporter: How do you feel about having your first baby?
Mrs. Avison: I feel super excited! I feel really, really, excited!
