My passion is to work with snarky adolescents with raging hormones and minimal impulse control. I specialize in those that struggle in the area of reading.

I believe in a strong advisory program in the middle school years. I have seen first hand how beneficial it can be to social and emotional development. https://t.co/yktzd4F9Fm

Huge score at the Southampton Public library today! They have discard racks, charging $.25/book. I just got all of these for 3 dollars. An affordable way to replenish my classroom library. #teacherhacks

It’s that time of year when I bike to the library and get a bunch of books to read. #summerreading

First class after the final math PSSA test. Who knew Go Noodle would be such a hit??

On Friday, a former NHS student returned to discuss what it’s like being a boom operator in the Air Force. The sixth graders had so many great questions, and they learned about many career paths in the Air Force.

Mr. Peter Stern shared his life’s story of surviving the Holocaust today with our middle schoolers. He encouraged students to use their voice. The students were definitely engaged as evidenced by their amazing questions and interactive responses. #nhsms

@artguy80 Wow!!

[Heather Derby @HabeiamDerby]

@educationweek It used to be $750, and I always had receipts that surpassed that amount by hundreds. Expo markers, highlighters, pencils, and books are my repeat purchases throughout the year.
