Mr. Wurtzel's Writing Madness
Family
I am incredibly fortunate to have the wife and kids I have. My wife, Kelly, and I have been married for 10 years come this September. We have been blessed with three wonderful children, Emerson (9 in September), Hadley (5), and Sawyer (3). In addition to teaching and coaching, my family keeps me very busy as we venture across St. Charles County in Girl Scouts, Dance, Soccer, and becoming a Cub Scout Den Leader for Emerson's and Hadley's Cub Scout Pack, 975 in St. Charles. Besides transporting our kids around, she has been working at Immanuel Lutheran St. Charles at a PreSchool 2 aide since 2013. She loves her 2 year olds -- I'd rather have my 14 year olds. :-)
Teaching
Welcome to my classroom site. I have been teaching Language Arts at BHMS for 8 years now. I began my teaching career in 2005 in Northern New Mexico after following my interests in working for the Boy Scouts at the Philmont Scout Ranch. I am a building representative on the Warren County R3 District Technology Department. In 2016, I earned my Masters in School Administration from Lindenwood. In 2018, I worked towards becoming a Level 1 & 2 Google Certified Educator and also became a USA Track & Field Certified Level 1 Coach. I enjoy being able to further my education in areas of technology and trying to find ways to implement those skills and ideas into my classroom units and daily activities. At the end of the 2018-2019 school year I earned my Masters +15 by completing 5 credits of graduate courses through Lindenwood University. During the 2019-2020 school year, I am excited to teach a section of American History and bring back the Woogies program that offers a Google Educator certification for grad credit to teachers in our district.
