  1. Ms. Frankl Room 727 Welcome to English

  2. Ms. Frankl Room 727 A BIT ABOUT ME My name is Lori Frankl, and I am your child’s English teacher. Here’s a little about me! I was an Air Force spouse, so I’ve lived in numerous interesting places. Many people, though, consider me a Las Vegas native since I moved here with my parents when I was a toddler. Naturally, I am a product of the Clark County School District. As you can imagine, I have seen tremendous changes in the Las Vegas area. One thing that remains constant; however, is the challenge to meet the educational needs of all children. After several rewarding life experiences and careers, I took to heart the following quote and decided to become a teacher: I look forward to working with and getting to know your children and you. “…the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.”

  3. Ms. Frankl Room 727 My Philosophy I believe all children can learn by focusing on their Individual learning styles and Unique needs.
