Honors Math

I am excited to be teaching Honors Math again this year.  This is my 8th year teaching at
St. Ignatius and 15th in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Prior to that I was an Internal Auditor for Phillips Van Heusen Corporation.  When I started my teaching career I taught 5th & 6th grade in a four room school outside of Pittsburgh.  I have a BS in Home Economics with 3 minors in Education (Day Care Administration, Early and Elementry Ed.) from Seton Hill University and I also have a BS in Accounting from St. Vincent College.  I am certified in Pennsylvania to teach Early and Elementary Education and 4th - 8th grade math. 
 

I believe that in order to be successful in math you have to make it meaningful.  Real life examples and activities are incorported into learning as much as possible.  This year I will be focusing on "Critical Thinking" activities to encourage the students to think outside the box.  

Congratulations to the 7th and 8th grade students who recently participated in the Nazareth Academy/ Holy Ghost Math Competition.  I am excited to announce that the 8th Grade students placed 3rd overall.  The teams consisted of:
                             7th Grade:       Lily G.

I will be running recycling club.  We will be encouraging recycling throughout the school and participating in the Pepsico Recycle Rally Program.  This club will be available for 5th - 8th grade students. 

Congratulations to the 1st through 4th grade who won the recycling competition.  Awesome job collecting recycles.
