 Favorite quote:  

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.“  -- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Who/What inspired you to become a teacher?  My Mother.  She taught for 32 years and loved every minute.

The thing I like most about teaching is…working with students.  I believe it keeps you young.

If I had not become a teacher, I probably would have enjoyed a career in …agriculture.  I like to be outside and work with animals.  I spent every summer as a child on my grandparent’s farm.

The things I do in my classroom to make the learning experience unique for the students

are … History Alive activities.  I always tailor these activities to the personality of the students I have at present.
