Welcome to my blog!
I have been teaching for 10 years now! The time sure flies! I started my teaching career teaching middle school at Catholic Schools in Northville and Westland Michigan. I enjoyed my time in these schools, but for the past 6 years I have been teaching Math and Student Council to high school students at Divine Child High School. I love working there since I graduated from the same school 16 years ago. It’s great seeing the traditions that still stand and how we have evolved over the years.
I use technology in my classroom on a daily basis. We are a one to one ipad school, which comes with both advantages and challenges. I have the unique opportunity to do an in-class version of the flipped classroom with my students, which works well as I have students with a variety of math backgrounds and needs as they enter high school. With this I also have to work harder to keep students focused and not distracted by the other features of this technology, while teaching them to advocate for themselves and be self-motivated.
Personally, I have an amazing boyfriend and a cute rescue, Soph. I never had a pet other than fish growing up, so rescuing her was a huge change but I’m so glad that I did. She is much more than a pet to me and I’m glad she is a part of my life. In addition to spending time with them, I love to travel and am a huge baseball fan. My bucket list is to visit every Major League Baseball stadium and I’m over a third of the way done! I also love to read and learn so I hope to get a lot out of this course.
