I am looking forward to being on the 7th grade team with you SO much. You seem to embody so many parts of what I would like to be as a teacher and human being. I would love to get to know you better and have a chance to learn from you next year. -Connor

Thanks for sharing the wonderful video and it is clear why so many of my seventh grade mentees stated English as their favorite subject

knicholson8 — 2021-06-08 17:04:49 UTC

Can't wait to have my mentees in your class so that I can experience the awesomeness that is English 7. I've missed your calming presence this year and can't wait to see you again.

You always blow me away with how you made you class so engaging this year! Your students are very lucky to have you as their teacher!

-Tiffany Pham

Made me feel welcomed on my first day at DMS. Thank you. Amazed at your energy of "calm"! Thanks for allowing me to observe your morning SDL, I learned a lot from you.

Your wisdom (not your look) reminds me of Yoda!

Tristan - Our first introduction was you teaching me breathing techniques and how to find the stress in my body. And that contagious centered, zen attitude was crucial this year and will be in years to come. You're the greatest Eng 7 teacher in all of the land! Here's to a brand new school year!

ENGLISH TEAM!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOO blown away by all of the hands on things that you make come alive in your classroom. All of my 8th grade students STILL mention you as their favorite teacher and I can't wait to be on campus next year to be able to see it in action even more! I'm also excited that we will be CT buddies so we can go to the random PDs together! WOOOT! - Sarah

all these comments are part lies. when i was in your class all u talked abt was mindfulness or wtv and kept talking abt spirtuality or something. u r a good teacher i guess but can u un private that video of the anne frank play thing ppl did.
