Welcome Back!


The 2013-14 school year officially begins on Monday. I'm excited to get back into the classroom and to meet all of my new students. I have had a wonderful summer, spending lots of meaningful time with friends and family. My humanities colleagues and I have moved into our new offices, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle of construction around school there's a lot of positive energy building toward the return of students. I'm really excited for the first day and the chance to get back to teaching.

We will start off with the identity unit, one of my favorite units to teach, and there's a lot to look forward to. For students and parents who have found their way here, you can look forward to periodic posts and occasional assignments for my advisees and Humanities students. For now, if you have any questions or comments about 7th grade Humanities, me, or anything at all, feel free to post them as comments. Below, I have posted a picture of a giant rock my father asked my brother and me to move--see what you think it looks like:
