Biography
Welcome to my class! I am a 25+ year veteran in the teaching profession. I love working with the Military community. I come from a military family with members in and/or retired from the Air Force, Army, Marines, and Navy. I have been married 38 years, and have 3 married children, 3 in-laws, and 7 grandchildren. I live on a farm in Statesburg. We have horses, a pony, a donkey, a llama, a cow, and some goats. I love music, sports, and math. I graduated from USC Upstate and have a Masters +30 in teaching middle level mathematics. I am a Math and Science Noyce Teaching Fellow, and a National Board Candidate. I love math and I hope your student will benefit greatly from being in my class this year. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions or concerns through out this school year. I will return your call/email as soon as possible. "A problem is a chance for you to do your best." Duke Ellington
Classes Taught

Welcome to 8th grade Math! Students will be using HMH textbooks, Schoology, and ALEKS daily in their math adventure. I require students to memorize math facts and practice daily. Students will be using an ALEKS section in their AVID binders this year and will need to write down the problems they work on during the enrichment time allocated in the schedule (homeroom). Writing problems down, especially the ones students get stuck on, will help me help the student. If the student needs extra assistance, I will be available for tutoring after school from 3:00-3:30. I look forward to working with you and your child this year!
