About The Teacher
I have been teaching in the Etiwanda School District since 1988. I taught elementary for 13 years and this will be my 20th year teaching 6th grade math and science. This year Ms Provines and I will be working together in math
instruction
I have lived in the Etiwanda area since 1985. I have 2 sons, both college graduates, with degrees in chemistry and environmental studies. I received my Masters Degree in Education (Curriculum and Instruction Focus) at California State University San Bernardino.
Mission For The Class
I want all students to feel that my classroom is a safe place for them to learn. I encourage students to work with their classmates and ask for help if needed. Students are expected to persevere with problems and are required to
explain their reasoning when performing mathematics. I believe that if we expect learning at a high level and show students that we (teachers and parents) believe in their abilities, they will achieve at high levels.
