JumpStart

It was great to see so many new faces a Jump Start. I had a lot of fun being a strengths coach. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again in two weeks!!

Goodbye class of 2016!

Grades have been submitted and the room 115 has been cleaned with the chairs stacked neatly in rows. It has been a fantastic year and I have really enjoyed my first year teaching!

I will always have a special place in my heart for the class of 2016! Please remember to keep in touch and keep following the blog. Have a great summer and good luck in seventh grade!
