Hi everyone! Thanks for welcoming me into the Huskies and introducing me to 10GA. I'm slowly getting caught up on everything and stumbled onto this padlet. I've never used padlet before!

Over the past year, I re-read a lot of childhood classics such as "Charlotte's Web" and "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing." I also read "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "A Raisin in the Sun" for the first time. Go figure. Great novels!

If you've never read "Holy Cow" by actor David Duchovny, check it out from the library (or wherever you get books). It's a hilarious romp about a cow who runs away with other barnyard animals because she doesn't want to be sent to the butcher.

I ate a delicious Caprese salad today at the Lookout Farm in Natick. The basil was wicked flavorful!

-This summer I stayed close to home spending lots of time with my puppy and by the pool. I was able to get a few trips in to the Cape, New York City, and Florida.
-If you are ever in the Chelmsford area, I recommend Fishbones. The best seafood around (oysters, buffalo shrimp, and bacon wrapped scallops are some of my favorites)!
-Currently reading: The Return by Nicholas Sparks

I have been working hard to eliminate the fluff that has accumulated haha, but things could be worse. I’m taking a class towards my second masters on emerging theories so that’s what I’ve been reading.

I am excited to be part of the English department and Bulldogs!

For a lighter read, I highly recommend The Bromance Book Clubby Lyssa Kay Adams. For a move intense, involved read, The Passage by Justin Cronin.
For a throwback summertime drive, the Richie's Slush stand in Everett (right on Revere Beach Parkway) is not disappointing.

This year is my 7th year teaching at Lawrence High School and my 5th at 10GA. This summer we spent most of our time hanging close to home due to having a one year old and the uncertainty of the world, but we did enjoy a long weekend in New Hampshire and lots a beach/pool days. Over the summer I read a bunch of James Patterson and Michael Connelly books, but honestly I forget all the names. My son loves to read, also, and really enjoys our trips to the Lawrence library - as he should with a mother that's an ELA teacher!

This is my ninth year teaching math at LHS. I’m a big fan of the Strawberry Cheesecake cupcakes at Little Delights bakery in Lowell.  This summer my husband dragged me into being a counselor at a Girl Scout camp for 2 weeks and it really made me thankful I teach kids who are old enough to be trusted with pointy scissors.
