Now the Teacher becomes the Student

For those of you that thought summer was beginning, well, I guess it is now the time for me to learn. Today, I started Calculus at PSU. That's pretty hard math! So, last night I packed up my backpack with a spiral, some paper, and writing utensils...Yes...both pens and pencils!

At 11:45 I went into class. This will be my pattern every day for the rest of the summer....Oh, I do get friday's off. So no homework tonight, but I do need to rewrite my notes for tomorrow!

Talk to you soon!

Summer Crew


What is my summer crew? It's a group of students who call me each week just to let me know what they are doing and what's up...

Do you want to be on my summer crew? Leave a comment saying you want to be on my crew and start giving me a call each week! You have my number.

Let the calling begin!

Summer is coming


It's hard to believe that this year is almost over. For many that means you are feeling both excited and sad. I am feeling the same way! I am excited for the end of school, but sad. I will miss you all! This summer I am planning on doing some fun field trips! Are you interested in coming? What about helping me paint the classroom? Do you want to help?

Let me know if you want to come!

Lee Academy Field Trip

On Thursday June 5, students from Lee Academy are going on a walking tour of Portland State and then to the Portland Art Museum.

I am really exited. I am looking forward to seeing "The Dancer" by Degas and "The Ox-Cart" by Vincent VanGogh.

I also can't wait to see the "Choreographed Geometry" which is made from 22,000 hand cut pieces of glass. I imagine it will be beautiful.

Tomorrow, everyone at school will be having a test. Lee Academy students will not have to take the test. Their reward for coming to Lee Academy for two days a week all year.

Have a good day!
