I have been teaching since 2003. I started at Bungay School teaching 5th grade. In 2004, I joined the SMS 6th grade team.
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated 6th grade math teacher. My passion for numbers and problem-solving helps me strive to make math engaging and accessible for all my students. My experience has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the 6th grade math curriculum and the unique challenges that students may face.
I create a positive and inclusive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring mathematical concepts. In class, there are a variety of teaching methods which include: hands-on activities, group work, and technology integration, to cater to different learning styles and keep students actively engaged.
Growth mindset is also a focus in our math class. This is a safe place where students will build confidence in their math abilities and know it is ok (even encouraged) to make mistakes.
