About Me:

This will be my 7th 8th year teaching Middle School!  I can't believe how time has flown by!  I have taught at the Middle School level my entire career and every grade level.  I have taught:

• 6th grade (Self-Contained Classroom) Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies
• 7th grade Language Arts and Social Studies
• 7th grade Math and Science
• 8th grade Language Arts and Social Studies
• Math Intervention - all grades
• Reading Intervention - all grades
• AVID Elective - 7th grade

At the very end of the 2011 school year (I mean two weeks before the last day) I was told that I was involuntarily transfered due to staffing needs.  I moved from Old MS to New MS.  I set up Life in Middle School to help me cope without my support systems.  In October of 2011, I was lucky enough to transfer BACK to my old MS (Hooray!!) and my life has been very hectic.

I have my Masters Degree from Azusa Pacific University in Educational Technology.

When I'm not busy teaching, I'm spending time with my wonderful husband of 5 years 6 years and our lively three four year old son.

Note:

If I'm vague about certain "details" - it's simply because I'm trying to remain more discreet with my blogging.  The State of California and teachers in general are experiencing some "difficult" times to say the least.  I don't want to link my real name to anything that could be misconstrued later down the line.  The Life in the Middle Facebook page is not linked to my personal Facebook for this very reason.

All the materials created are my own and my opinions (which I'm going to try to keep at a minimum) are also my own and do not reflect my State or District.
