Welcome to me! I have been teaching for over twenty years now (it's incredible how time flies!). I have been at Macdonald High School for seventeen years now. I teach Grades 7 & 8 English and I have taught Grade 7 Ethics and Grade 9 English. I am the Grade 8 Enriched English teacher. Normally, I teach regular Grade 7 and/or regular Grade 8. This year I am teaching only Grade 8- enriched and regular. I love teaching Cycle I and I wouldn't change it for the world! I always have the best students in my mind!
I taught Grade 5 for two years at Edgewater Elementary before coming to MAC. Before that, I worked as an Educator in a group home, sheltered workshops, and an institutional residence. That was a very long time ago!
I have three degrees from McGill University- my Masters in Education, Diploma in Special Education, and a Bachelor of Education.
I have been married to my husband, Gerry for over 29 years (his parents paid me well- LOL), and I have three children- Stephanie who is 26 years old, Eric who is 21 years old, and David who is 20 years old.
My interests include: NASCAR, NFL (Go Steelers!), CFL (Go Argos!), NFL (Go Leafs- yes, I said Leafs!), MLB (Go Jays!). I am a big fan of Eric Walters and his novels. I love Star Trek, Doctor Who, and The Blacklist. I enjoy the music of Billy Joel, Elton John, Styx, to name a few. AND I am a collector of things- just check out my classroom!
Oh, did I mention that I am completely obsessed with Disneyland and Disney World?!
