Merry Christmas

…and a Happy New Year

Christmas 2013

I have the best job in the world working with some pretty amazing kids and their families.  I’ve probably learned more from these people than I’ve taught.  Thanks for enriching my life so much!

The Fall 2013 semester was an interesting one.  My students put up with construction going on around them with things literally falling from the ceiling.  For the first two months I had a class of only girls, so I got a glimpse of their world.  All of my students are really creative and learn so fast.  I remember finishing an entire chapter from the math book in just one day, and everyone got A’s on the test the following day!  Through it all, we’ve all become better people, learning how to put others first and work as a team.  I’m thankful for each of you!  Enjoy your winter vacation.

Janis, you’ve done an amazing amount of personal growth in the past year and a half.  You’ve definitely become a leader by setting a good example and working hard.  Keep up the good work!!!

Isa, it’s a joy to be your teacher.  You challenge me every day with your ideas and insights.  Keep on being you!!!

Jason, I’m proud of how quickly you jumped into our class and how much effort you put in to everything you do.  Even when things are really hard, you give it your best effort.  Don’t ever stop doing that!!!

I had some time over break to post photos from this semester.  You can find them under the Photos link on this website.
