About Us

I began my teaching career in 1987 as a high school basketball and volleyball coach.  I loved the daily interaction with my players, but my true satisfaction came from pushing them to their physical limits and then seeing the results of their efforts benefit them during competitions.  Though I no longer coach,  I enjoy that same satisfaction in the classroom.

Just like coaching a junior varsity team of average ability athletes, my class is not full of gifted students.  I can’t show my kids a couple of examples from their text book and expect them to master new skills.  They need lots of repetitions, but repetition is boring.  So, I create fun classroom activities – whole group Bingo games, Boom cards and Google Forms Quizzes, Worksheets with Riddles, and holiday mystery games that all include our learning standards.  Kids love playing, and through ‘play’ they can master anything I throw at them!

My favorite question  that I hear from my students on a regular basis is: “Can we do this again tomorrow?”
