(I did take some brief time away from teaching to work in the health and wellness world too).  Before starting at PGA, I taught math and integrative health courses at Front Range Community College.  I was born and raised in Louisville, KY so that is why you saw me sporting a big hat and riding a stick horse in the teacher video.  : )  (The KY Derby has been postponed this year and is coming up on September 5th!)  Can't wait to meet you all of you who are in my 7th grade Math course this year!]]> 2020-08-20 14:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bosborn8/PSDVMS/wish/689319074 bosborn8 https://padlet.com/bosborn8/PSDVMS/wish/689364349 Welcome to PSDV Middle School!

Ms. Phelan here. I am so excited to be teaching social studies to 7th graders this year; I  am fascinated by ancient civilizations- digging into the past reveals so much about our present circumstances. Learning about the people and cultures that populate our world has been an ongoing passion of mine. I have lived all over the world, I spent a year in France in college, and I spent two years in the Peace Corps in Africa. Although I have lived in Colorado for the last 20 years, I continue to explore our world’s breadth and depth. I come from Boltz Middle School, where I taught 8th grade English for several years, but I have also taught 7th and 8th grade Social Studies. I love to teach writing, and I love talking with my students and having my students talk to each other- so get ready to do a lot of talking, collaborating, and writing in my class. I cannot wait to meet you.]]> 2020-08-20 15:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bosborn8/PSDVMS/wish/689571193 vidavis https://padlet.com/bosborn8/PSDVMS/wish/689797039 I'm so excited to get to know you this year! I teach all middle school P.E. and Health. I'm a Fort Collins native and went to school in PSD and then graduated from CSU. I have a dog named Annie and I love the mountains. I enjoy all sports, but my favorite team is the Broncos. I can't wait to meet all of you and begin this exciting new year!]]> 2020-08-20 16:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bosborn8/PSDVMS/wish/689797039 alonac8 https://padlet.com/bosborn8/PSDVMS/wish/689815935 Hey there! I'm stoked to be teaching 7th grade English at PSDV this year. I grew up in Greeley, CO, but LOVE living in Fort Collins. More loves: dancing, scuba diving, traveling, Harry Potter, Stranger Things, and getting outdoors often. I also adore dogs, but don't have one of my own, so I've included a picture of me and my friend's dog who is probably the cutest ball of fluff you ever did see.

Contact me at alonac@psdschools.org if I can help you with anything!]]> 2020-08-20 16:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bosborn8/PSDVMS/wish/689815935 giverson1 https://padlet.com/bosborn8/PSDVMS/wish/689830982 I'm going to teaching 7th grade science, and I can't wait!

A lot has happened in between here and there, like teaching 6th grade language arts and 7th grade history classes in Thailand and Spain.  I love playing card games (including exploding kittens), cooking ALL different kinds of foods (the spicier the better) and traveling around the globe (scuba diving with hammerhead sharks was a major plus).
