My name is Ryan Lamb and I have been in Arizona for my whole life of 35 years. Furthermore, I graduated from Arizona State Univeristy in 2007 and 2016 with a Bachelors and a Master's degree. I have been teaching full-time since 2008. I started my career in the Tempe School District, and then in 2011, I switched to the Madison School District where I taught 6th grade ELA and Science for the past seven years. Then, in 2018, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming an administrator, and to do this I applied and was hired by the Kyrene School District to teach Reading Interventions and 6th and 7th grade Language and Literature classes for Kyrene Middle School. 

 

Along with working and teaching full-time, I am a dedicated family man. I married my wife, Qingmeng, back in 2011. A year later our son, Raiden, was born and will be 7 years old this coming August. Then in 2017, my daughter, Skye, was born and just turned 2. We do a lot as a family and have traveled quite a bit, even to China so that our son could meet his cousins and family since my wife is Chinese. Furthermore, we love taking our kids to Disneyland and are planning a trip in the near future and also because my son and daughter love the water so we always go to the beach when we can. Feel free to ask me questions about my kids and wife because I love to talk about them.

 

So, welcome to my class and I am looking forward to a great learning and growing year. To end this welcome, think about this quote and what it means to you and your children.
