I am an English teacher at Piscataway High School. I love stories and am always looking for new and exciting ways to foster a love of literature.

Excited to welcome our visiting poets for Poetry month! Not only did they visit individual classrooms to teach lessons on poetry, but then treated us to moving performances! #poetry #poetrymonh #piscatawayhighschool

What I love about workshopping material is hearing the unique insights my students have and witnessing the trust they have in one another to discuss ideas. #gochiefs #phsproud #ela #poetry #margaretatwood

Students using the art of the book cover to make inferences about the text. So proud of their work and their wonderful ability to question.
