This is my second year at Union Middle School! I moved to San Jose, California from Chicago, Illinois last summer. I graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Middle Level Education. I am certified to teach K-9 and I have endorsements in science, language arts, and social studies. I am very appreciative of the experiences I received after completing my education. In 2012, I was an REI Educational Assistant at Wauconda Middle School in Wauconda, Illinois. I adopted new strategies from teaching my first special education class and I also helped students adjust successfully into various classrooms. After this experience, I was a teacher in Community Consolidated School District 15 in Palatine, Illinois. I taught 8th grade science, reading, and writing at Walter Sundling Junior High School. Then, I taught 8th grade science, 7th grade science, 7th grade history, and guided study at Plum Grove Junior High School the following year. I love working with middle school students and making a positive impact on their lives. I am looking forward to a wonderful school year!
Please refer to this website to access all of our units throughout the year including classroom handouts, labs, presentations, videos, etc. I will also post upcoming homework assignments, projects, and tests/quizzes dates. I will keep you updated as much as I possibly can with what are we doing in class and through photos.
