Be sure to stop in and greet Delores, Deb, and Linda when visiting the school.

Ms. Chan's Physical Science class turned into a mini Asian market this week! Students worked in groups to “shop” for Filipino food items—but before they could “buy” anything, they had to convert the units (like grams to kilograms or milliliters to cups) to the correct measurement. It was a fun way to practice math and science skills while learning about Filipino culture.

Everyone enjoyed shopping, calculating, and working together!

Subjects Taught/Position: HS/MS Band and Choir

Experience: This is my first year teaching! My college experience included teaching HS/MS Band, Orchestra, and Choir, and Elementary Band and Orchestra

What is one of your favorite things about teaching? As a music teacher, I love it when a switch flips in the head of the student, and they are able to do things they haven't been able to do before. It's a really cool experience and a powerful one at that!

How do you spend your summer breaks? I like to travel with my wife over breaks and spend time with my family.
