Welcome to my class page! Learn more about me here.
It is my honor and pleasure to be the 8th-grade homeroom/ Religion teacher. I get to prepare my students for the Sacrament of Confirmation, and I get to prepare them for high school(graduation). I chose teaching as my profession not only because I love to instruct and make a difference, but because I love to work with so many different personalities/ characters at so many different levels.
I enjoy teaching ELA/Reading because I love to open my student’s minds. I try to teach my students to think critically, and at the same try to make personal life connections every time they read a new novel, short story or piece of poetry. One of my favorite jobs during the course of the year is coordinating and training students for the Good Shepherd Catholic Academy Oratorical Contest. I have been the coordinator for 20 years.
I use a great deal of technology in my classroom (Chromebooks, google classroom etc.). All of my Science lessons are taught using Lablearners (STEM). All my classes are in the lab every week applying all concept days, pre-labs ( powerpoints) and notes. My students enjoy working in the lab and are very well prepared for the NYS Science test.
Favorite Quote: “NEVER STOP LEARNING, BECAUSE LIFE NEVER STOPS TEACHING.”
