Welcome Back to School!!!

Welcome to my 7th Grade Class Blog!

For those of you that I've already met, I'm looking forward to working with your child. For those of you that I haven't yet met, here is a brief bio.

I've been teaching for nine years, the past five at David A. Weir Preparatory Academy. Before coming to Weir I taught at an alternative education charter school and before that I taught at Creekview Ranch Middle School in the Dry Creek Joint School District. Before going in to teaching, I worked for Vision Service Plan (VSP) for 10 years. I enjoyed my work, but knew there was more for me to do, which brought me to teaching!

I spend all of my free time with my husband, Mr. Guernsey and son, Jayson. We LOVE to travel and visit new places. This past summer we took a week long vacation to San Diego where we spent endless days on the beach and visited the San Diego Zoo and LEGOLAND. Jayson is 4 years old and just started Transitional Kindergarten this year. He also just started playing on an organized Soccer team in Carmichael Soccer Club.

Mr. Guernsey and I last spring at the
Carrie Underwood Concert in Reno, NV.

Next week I go back to school at California State University, Sacramento to continue working on my Administrative Services Credential and second Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. I will complete this program at the end of this school year, if your children haven't already mentioned! (I love learning, but am VERY excited to have all of my free time back!)

This week was filled with learning more classroom and school procedures, MAP Testing and an All School Roll Call Rally around the world on the back of campus! I only took two photos of this event because it was SO windy and our USC flag was blowing all around! Next time the wind is calm, I'll take a quick photo with the kids!

Throughout the year I will be posting on this blog to communicate events, assignments and dates and details of important 7th grade events.

If you haven't read my course syllabus and signed the signature page, here is a copy to view.

Next week starts with MAP Mathematics testing, Back to School Night on Wednesday at 6:00 PM and concludes with our PBIS Assembly to discuss expectations on campus and off.

Check back here during the week for more information about our days and photos of things we are doing in class!

See you at Back to School Night!
