After substitute teaching for several years at Round Lake, I began teaching full time in 1998. I previously taught math at Brewster High School in 1980-81 and now have students who are children of my former students!
In between 1981 and when I began teaching in Round Lake, I was fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home mom with my three boys, Zach, Matthew & Tim. Those little boys are now grown. Zach is the IT and Audiovisual Manager for the Radisson Conference Center in Plymouth, MN. Matthew is married and going to school at Northwestern Health Science University in Bloomington, MN where he is studying to be a chiropractor. And my youngest, Tim, is a senior at St. Cloud State University majoring in Marketing.
During the summers, my husband Bob and I love to travel. In fact I love researching our destinations and learning about new places almost as much as the actual trips! My students may be surprised to learn that when I travel I do things like snorkeling, scuba diving, zip lining, cave tubing, hiking through jungles, rappelling into underground rivers, etc. This past summer we visited an Indian village in Panama. I felt like I was in a picture from National Geographic magazine!
In my classroom I like to make use of current technology. I am an avid Smart Board user and also love the Smart Response system (we just call them clickers!) Our new math curriculum offers many web resources as well as online textbooks. Students in our school district are very fortunate to be exposed to the latest in technology.
The link to the online resources that coordinate with our textbook is: www.classzone.com. This web site provides homework help & tutoring, practice tests and quizzes, math games, an online textbook, and more. Be sure to check it out!
