Went to Holy Family University

Have been teaching at St. Matt’s for 13 years.

I have always taught 6th grade & I LOVE it!

I come from a large family. I have 3 brothers & 1 sister.I have always wanted to be a teacher.

My favorite subjects are Math, Science, & Social Studies

Some of my favorite things are: traveling, going to the beach, spending time with friends, playing with my niece, reading & listening to music.

My favorite sports are football & baseball.

Some of my pet peeves (things I don’t like) are: disrespect to others (students & those in authority), calling out, not paying attention, not putting effort into your work, & being sloppy. Neatness is important!

You will discover that learning can sometimes be fun as well as beneficial and appreciate its rewards.

You will learn that what they put into their work is what they can expect to get out of it.

The key to a good school year is cooperation.

Homework & Test ScheduleYou are responsible for copying your homework

everyday. Homework will be posted on my website, but you should not solely depend on that.

Test schedules are posted on Mondays. It is your responsibility to copy it.

If you get an infraction for homework- you MUST get your log signed & complete the assignment for the next day.

If you forget a book for homework- call someone so you can copy, scan, or write the page you need. “I forgot it .” is not an excuse.

Page 14: First Day PowerPoint for Students

Participation=CooperationTalking, Passing notes, and other inappropriate behaviors during class show a lack of participation and cooperation and will affect the subject grade.

Raising hand in class is strongly encouraged.

If you don’t understand something- ASK! It shows initiative.

Your effort & behavior in class are just as important as your test grades.

Cooperation is important.

Do your OWN work. It’s OK to ASK for help, but NEVER let anyone do your work for you.

Follow ALL the rules of the school & classroom.
