Welcome to Mr. Tyler Norris's Writing Connections Class!

            Hello everyone! Welcome to my class! I am excited about teaching the Writing Connections class this school year! I believe that writing is a very important and fun skill for everyone to learn because it is used not only in school but in the real world. I enjoyed writing when I was in school, so I hope to instill the same interest in every student in my classroom. Speaking of when I was in school, I am a product of the Effingham County School System. I went to South Effingham Elementary, Middle, and High School. As a result, I understand the values and beliefs of this school system, and now I have the privilege to teach those to every student who walks into my classroom. 

            I graduated from Armstrong State University/Georgia Southern University in 2018 (at the time, they were still merging, so I earned diplomas from both universities) with a B.S. in Criminal Justice. I decided it was not for me, so I decided to take on teaching instead. I was the permanent substitute teacher at Ebenezer Middle during the 2020-2021 school year, and I taught ELA during the 2021-2022 school year. I am currently working on earning my Master of Arts in Teaching in Middle Grades Education with a focus in Language Arts. 

          A few fun facts about myself: I am married to my amazing wife, Paige! We got married on October 3rd, 2020! We were truly blessed to enjoy that day with all of our family and friends! My favorite hobbies are running and watching movies. I am a fan of all things Disney (Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar), and I like to read action/adventure/fantasy books.
