Thanks!!
As we wrap up another year, I wanted to thanks all of you for your hard work and dedication. To those of you in far away places like Florida, New York, and Texas, I hope the site has been useful to you. We'll be here all summer, updating and improving the site with video and podcast, but we're always vailable for a little shout out. Whether you're watching movies or relazxing on the beach, I encouage you to check in. Use the summer to plan some long-range goals, and get your parents involved in your success. You'll be amazed at how much they really care. For those of you whose Science Geek comes out to play, check out this link courtesy of one of my students. Thanks again for making us such a popular site, and best wishes to you all!

Teaching you is the most important thing I will ever do.
It is a privilege to work with you every day, and I consider each of you to be unique and full of promise. We live in a world where people move fast and news moves even faster. As your teacher, I am committed to helping you understand how we got here, and where we're going. I approach teaching in a unique way - history is a story, complete with comedy and tragedy, love and hate, and real lessons that can help us live better lives. Those messages are shared through lessons I deliver to you - they can be wrapped in simulations, games, or by simpy reading an old document written from the time period we are studying.
Understanding history is sometimes like looking into a fishbowl: you can see everything, but miss the smallest details and you miss the point! My job is not only to educate, but to inspire you to become better than you were yesterday. Give a man a fish and he'll eat today - teach him how to fish, and he can eat for a lifetime!
Like everything in life, this website is constantly growing - your input into website links, assignments, etc are critical to my site's success. Check back here often, and tell me what I can do to improve. Afterall, the worthy journey is never easy! I'm glad you're accompanying me down this road of history - may your day tomorrow be better than the one lived today.
ROCK ON!
