Made an Agriculture Gallery Walk that we did this past Friday. The students crushed it as always.

Sorry for being a little inactive on x. I’ve been working on a few personal projects that have taken up a ton of my time this year. Hoping to get back on into a rhythm in 2026.

Border disputes today! My students did a fantastic job with their illustrations and descriptions of the conflict. Well done!

Little photo dump. Grad school, esports, and teaching have been really kicking my behind this year! All worth it for these kids. I’ll post some lessons soon!

One of my favorite lessons of the year. We use robots to simulate the Battle of Fort Sumter. So much engagement and smiles.

Organizing a picture by different scales. I always enjoy this activity. It really allows the students to engage in the topic.

I am just so proud of my AP Human Geography students! 81.7% of my students got a 3 or higher on the exam. Major improvement from last year’s scores. Now we strive for 100% 💪🏻.

Time after time Coach Brown and his team perform. So proud of the girls and all the staff that put in countless hours to compete at the highest level.
