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.  

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.
