Welcome to my class! "Creating a World of Magic"
I take pride on being a creative, energetic, and interesting teacher. I enjoy making sure that "literature comes alive" in the classroom for a student. While I do hope that students enjoy the selected texts, I of course realize not all books will be for everyone. But the goal is that he or she can learn something about themselves. I fully admit I am a huge Disney fan, and aspects of the "magic, creativity, and fantasy" ideal certainly do come into play within my own classroom. My goal is to make English and Literature hopefully not just tolerable, but maybe even fun as well.
ALL TUTORING SCHEDULED IN ADVANCE; NO WALK INS
*A student should sign up in advance for tutoring by simply signing his or her name underneath the tutoring days located on the front board.
*I cannot help a student who walks into tutoring without notice, for I may be tutoring one on one, and I will not be prepared with the necessary materials.
