Thank you for visiting! I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade math to almost 100 students on the South Side of Chicago. My students are an amazing mix of awesomeness and academics with the hormonal angst of a typical middle school student mixed in for a bit of excitement. My students love reading and devour books like some kids do candy. They love having the responsibility of being the class librarian and using technology to check out books. Our students know that they have a library that they can visit in each of their core subject teacher's classrooms and each creates a different experience for our students.
