Hello, thank you for visiting my page and for showing an interest in Holy Cross Academy. I am celebrating my 19th year at the school with a total of 23 years in education. Variety and change appear to be in my vocabulary having taught kindergarten, first, fourth, middle school and high school.
In my middle school integrated language arts classes, I place a strong emphasis on grammar and writing. Students’ work often reflect environmental and varied social concerns. Lessons encompass voices of humanitarian acts and a demonstration of the students’ faith.
Guided novels selected for the class are designed to cultivate the students both academically and emotionally. Students are engaged in fund-raisers that reflect the lessons learned in the novels.
My mission is to develop a love and confidence in writing. I strive to create an environment in the classroom that is one for learning naturally, but one that is laced with humor, song, dance, and occasional rock and roll. Visitors are always welcomed!
