I love to curate, connect, and collaborate. Teaching social studies allows me to continually change things up which is one of the reasons I love it. Connecting globally is very important in today's world and a current project my students are involved in is Books for Africa. We connected with a 4th grade class in Lesotho, Africa and are collecting books to help them with their literacy program. I wonder a great deal about many things and often do my best thinking and planning while running. I also love reading, photography, football, films, music and especially dogs.
