Why am I a Social Studies teacher? When I was in 7th grade, I HATED History. The class was so boring, the teacher did nothing but yell the entire class, and we did nothing but write notes the entire class. I knew the story of America could be told in an interactive, interesting way...so I am here as your teacher to inspire you to LOVE Social Studies because it is a great story! We are about to embark on a wonderful adventure together. Keep an open mind, enjoy learning, appreciate diversity, and be proud of how hard you will work this year.
