My mother is a Special Education teacher at Long Beach High School and coach of the LBHS Swim Team. She also teaches swimming lessons to elementary students in the summer.
My father and brother work together for an HVAC company. My brother Ronnie and I are very close (that’s what happens when you grow up guys—you quit hating your siblings).
My nephew, Grayden, just turned three this August. He’s something else.
Remus, my dog/terrorist, is two years old. Hmm… Remus. Interesting name, right? Have you heard it before?
How is our class run? • Two summers back I was introduced to a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Donna Porter, and her student DJ. Because of this teacher/student duo, I practice a classroom management plan called Conscious Discipline. You’ll learn all about it. Meet Mrs. Porter and DJ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXJGcqcJckA&feature=youtu.be
Conscious Discipline • We’ll do a few non-traditional things in class, such as: • Keep up a Wish Well • Assign jobs • “Notice” each other • Fill each others’ buckets Seriously, it’s newsworthy. • http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57402915/from-headed-for-jail-to-head-of-the-class/
My Promise to You • Memorizing dates, facts, and figures won’t earn you anything but points in a trivia game. As a social studies teacher, I promise to teach you life skills you can USE. • Why study History? • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgmNkYUL_Cw • Or, for a heavier answer: • http://www.historians.org/pubs/free/WhyStudyHistory.htm
