Who is Mr. Block??


This will be my sixth year at Sarah Smith.  Time flies when you're teaching
fun!

I moved to Atlanta in the summer of 2006 from South Florida, where I spent most of my childhood. I was fortunate enough to attend an IB high school and when I saw that Sarah Smith was receiving their certification, I knew it was the perfect match for me. I began my studies at the University of Florida(GO GATORS!!) and received my B.A. in Elementary Education from Florida Atlantic University (GO OWLS!). This summer, I completed a Master's in Educational Psychology of the Gifted and Talented at the University of Connecticut. (GO HUSKIES!)

I enjoy live music, cooking, and playing tennis. During college football and basketball seasons, you will often hear me speaking about the Florida Gators. If you are a UGA fan, please accept my apologies ahead of time. I love sushi and all types of seafood. I enjoy going to parks with Layla, my beagle/corgi mix. She is a true angel in my life.

Always Give 100%

I expect 100% from all of my students, everyday. This enables the children to exceed expectations and become outstanding IB students. I promise to give 100% as a facilitator of the learning process.
