'Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.'-Romans 15:4

 I am so pleased and fortunate to be a member of the staff of SMCS! It is a 
blessing to me to educate the children of this school. I taught previously 
Religion and Social Studies in Connecticut; I am very enthusiastic about my 
content area. Our focus for 7th grade SS is on the continents of Asia and 
Africa; 8th grade concentrates exclusively on American History.I welcome 
suggestions and information about Wilmington to use in our classes as we 
travel through our world. In Religion, we will concentrate on the world that 
was before Jesus was born into it through geography, sociology, and by study 
of the Old Testament books. 6th grade Reading reinforces decoding 
strategies,vocabulary,and writing through the study of varying genres and 
authors.  Essay writing is a component in all subjects.

'Raise a child in the way they should go, and when they are older they shall not depart from it .'- Proverbs 22:6

I actively utilize maps, graphs,tables,and charts in all my classes; these 
tools and their use serve students for a lifetime. I encourage different 
types of writing, from haiku to informational non-fiction.We employ hands on 
activities to reinforce cultural aspects when possible. I hope to 
encourage life long curiousity in the world and global events.
