About Me: 

Mme Awkerman:

Bonjour!  Je m'appelle Madame Awkerman.  You can call me Madame, Madame Awkerman, Mrs. Awkerman, or Mrs. A.  I do not answer to "Hey Miss Teacher lady," or "Miss Um, Miss Um..."   :-)  My name is on the board for easy reference. 
 
I teach Exploratory French, French I, and I supervise Learning Support.  I have been teaching here since the fall of 2003.  I am originally from a small town called Walker, near Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  I am a graduate of Walker High School and Louisiana State University, which makes me a Wildcat, a Tiger, and...

Well, and this:

NO, not a Valkyrie, a Viking, silly! 

Things I love:  Butterflies, animals (horses and dogs, mostly), sushi, LOLcats, Food Network, movies, music (Including French music!), my husband, my family, travel, sunshine, sparkly things, gadgets, the smell of a new book.
 
Things I can't live without:  my husband, Cajun food, and a good book on a rainy day!
 
Things I CAN live without:  Snow, centipedes, and spiders
 
Favorite authors (that you should definitely check out!):  L.M. Montgomery, Robin McKinley, Laurie R. King, Charlotte Brontë, and it is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is my absolute favorite! (You get a French pencil if you get the reference!)
