About Me
I am in my last quarter of my teacher certification program at the UWB before I begin my full-time student teaching.
I am very interested in grounding my classroom in social justice and technology. I believe the two go hand-in-hand.
Besides the classroom, my other favorite places are all outside, except of course my bed. I love hiking, biking, and playing in general.

    Yeah, I'm going to the fair, but I didn't register in time. Looks like I'll have to register there. Will I see you there? That's exciting news about starting your 6 weeks so soon; are you comfortable with everything? I start my 6 weeks after the WASL, and it will include a math investigations unit, FOSS, a Houghton Mifflin reading unit, and yet another start-from-scratch social studies unit on the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest. That unit will need to include reading non-fiction and lots of writing.
    I have no clear idea about my first ss unit I'm planning, but I'm going to start with the EALRs and then brainstorm some enduring understandings. Next, I'll design a summative assessment and work backwards from there. I don't know what it will end up looking like, but I'm starting it in the morning. -)

    Hi Sara!

    Hope you had a nice winter break. I was wondering if you or your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. We'd really like to get students involved from Washington!

    You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
