Hello and welcome 407 and 408 to the 2023-24 school year!
I'm Mr. Merrick and I could not be more excited to get into the classroom and learn with you all this year! Together, we will make Room 215 a magical, fun, and adventurous place to learn. Buckle up!
This school year I will be teaching English Language Arts and Social Studies to my 408 Homeroom and Ms. Armstrong's 407 Homeroom.
Ms. Caitlin Armstrong will be teaching Math and Science for 407 and 408. Any questions regarding those subjects/assignments can be directed to Ms. Armstrong's email carmstrong@mast2.org.
If you have any questions regarding ELA or Social Studies, please send me an email. rmerrick@mast2.org.
Do not hesitate to reach out for any reason via our emails or Reminds. We are looking forward to getting to know all of our learners and their families.
About the Teacher:
I love being active, whether I'm hiking, riding my mountain bike, going to the gym, or playing sports.
Music is a major part of my life. I enjoy music from (almost) every genre, and most of all, LOVE to sing.
I'm a die-hard Philadelphia sports fan. While I love all of our teams, feel free to say "Go Birds!" to me all year-round.
I attended the University of Pittsburgh for my Bachelor's degree before returning home and receiving a Master's degree from the Temple University Graduate College of Education.
This will be my fourth full school-year teaching, and my second here at MaST II Tacony. I could not be more excited!
This fall, I will also be returning as an assistant middle school soccer coach here at MaST II.
I have a big kitty cat at home named Bubba. He is a very good, grey, furry boy.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading and learning about the world of investing and finance and am ALWAYS open to a book recommendation.
