New Adventures!
I am so excited to begin a new year at Young Jr High. I am looking forward to showing my students that history is more than a story about the past. This history class will allow the students to delve deeper into their thinking processes through collaborative work with their peers. They will be Engaged, Enriched, and Excited when they walk through the door every day! There will be connections to real world events that will cement how the history of the past can affect the outcomes of the present. I will be using technology in the classroom to offer better resources in this technological savvy world. My goal is to have my students leave my classroom better critical thinkers, better people for society, and filled with useful historical knowledge to guarantee a successful future!

Educational philosophy
Society today lives in an ever-changing world, continually filled with new innovations to make life better for people. I believe that educators need to continually innovate with society to keep the curriculum resources relevant to our children. I am continually looking for new ideas to make my classroom environment for my students the best it could possibly be.
