Welcome to room 309! That picture is of me in the 7th grade about 1975. I have been in a 7th grade classroom for 29 years, and if you count my actual year in the 7th grade, that makes 30! I often say I am stuck in the 7th grade as a joke, but I love it. 

It is my goal that you find your child's educational experience in my classroom comfortable, friendly, challenging, and interesting. I am looking forward to another great year with your child. 

My plan is to cover many important concepts in history during the Middle Ages while attempting to make it interesting and connect to today's world. We are piloting two new social studies publisher's curriculum during the first semester, so I expect it will be a challenging time for all of us as we use new material for the first time in about 12 years. 

I want you to feel comfortable contacting me anytime about any issue. Please be assured that I am at your service because I believe I am working for you and your children, you are my bosses.
