I am a science/social studies teacher of over 20 years but with limited means and materials. I'm also a project based teacher who loves giving groups assignments. I LOVE the craft of teaching and look for new ways to engage my students. In the summer 2016 I traveled to Italy with several of my students. It was the most amazing experience of our lives. I was beautiful to see education come to life with my students. It was a week I will cherish forever.
