Welcome to second grade! My name is Lori Kirkland and I have been a part of the E. O. Young family for 15 years. I taught in Virginia for 19 years. This is my 35th year of teaching (not that I'm counting)! I have been married for 32 years and have 2 grown sons and 2 grandchildren who are the light of my life! I am excited about beginning our new phonics program, "Letterland" and our new iReady reading and math programs. I look forward to a GREAT school year!
