I am excited to start a new year. I know our situation with distance learning isn't ideal, but I am certain we will still grow, learn, and connect. I look forward to teaching ALD, English 2, my English Combo class, as well as leading my Advisory group this year. Our classroom is not defined by 4 walls, it is defined by our the connections we will make with each other this year through dialogue, critical thinking, questioning, listening, reading, writing, creativity and friendship. I also look forward to supporting all EL students this year as I have done for the past 4 years as the school's EL Coordinator.
