Dear Students:
Welcome! I'm beyond excited that we get to spend the next year together learning and growing. We have so much to look forward to as a class family, and I can't wait to get started with this semester!
I adore all the subjects, but you're going to find out that I'm a fanatic about Social Studies and ALL of history - come prepared to share fun facts that you know, as well as hear what others have discovered! As your teacher I promise to each and every one of you I will do my best to always be present and supportive; you are all valuable members of our class family and we ALL have ideas and skills to share. We are going to have a great year!
About Me:
I'm an true Austinite, born and raised! My mom and pops met in Austin 35 years ago, and we have deep roots in the Austin area - they actually live only a short distance from Laurel Mountain Elementary, and can't be happier with where I chose to work; something about keeping their kids as close to home as possible! I also have an identical twin named Abraham who lives in Austin as well - when he visits us at Laurel Mountain, you can call him Mr. Studor-Studor!
I adore getting to be outdoors - I love to go camping and hiking when I have time (when it's not 105 outside!), as well as a good early-morning slalom ski on Lake Austin with my dad. I'm also a giant soccer fanatic and spend my evenings and weekends (as well as the very early morning on occasion) either playing a pickup game of soccer or watching Borussia Dortmund and Austin FC. Cooking is also a favorite pastime I picked up as I grew up, so if there's ever any recommendations for recipes, please send them along! I try to go to the Mueller Farmer's Market once a month - if you see me, come say hello! I try to get a book read every month: at the moment I'm reading a bunch of non fiction books about Texas' history.
