I love so many things about life. I love my family and my students so, so much. I love being outdoors (except during Cedar season...), tall trees, and great expanses. I love teaching my students about the Earth and our universe and sharing with them how I cool I think their systems and living communities are. I love teaching the history of our nation and exploring what might have been going through our ancestors' minds as they met new obstacles. I love writing, reading, and the power that communicating with the written and spoken word can command. Most of all, I love sharing what I know with awesome kids.
