Hello...I am entering my 26th year of teaching at the middle school level and
I enjoy it more and more every year! I have been married to my husband,
Ed,for 24 years and we have two children, Eddie and Alexa, both of whom are
in college this year!! We have a collie named Desi too...he
is the furball on my announcements page.
I am looking forward to a great year with your children - please feel free to
contact me at any time.
"I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element
in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It's
my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous
power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture
or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In
all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be
escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized."
