I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TEACHING.  I AM THRILLED TO BE TEACHING SIXTH GRADE SOCIAL 
STUDIES.  MY CLASS IS INTERSTING, ENLIGHTENING, AND DEMANDING.  IF YOU THINK 
SOCIAL STUDIES IS BORING, GET READY TO BE SURPRISED.

STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE.
LEARN TO BE CRITICAL THINKERS.
TREAT OTHERS WITH KINDNESS AND DIGNITY.
LAUGH AND ENJOY LIFE.
LEARN FROM THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT THAN YOU.
EXPLORE THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR EDUCATION BY PAYING ATTENTION IN CLASS, BEING 
ORGANIZED, COMING TO CLASS PREPARED, AND WORKING DILIGENTLY.  
THE HARDER YOU WORK AND THE MORE PREPARED YOU ARE FOR CLASS (AND IN LIFE), 
THE FEWER EXCUSES YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE.
LIFE IS SHORT- LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND SHARE YOUR WISDOM WITH THOSE 
AROUND YOU.
LIFE IS ALL ABOUT PRIORITIES.... WHAT ARE YOURS?
WHEN GIVEN A CHOICE BETWEEN LEARNING SOMETHING NEW AND WATCHING 3 HOURS OF 
TELEVISION... CHOOSE WISELY.
