Teaching and Learning!

My name is Matt and I am going to school in the evenings while teaching during the days. It took me some time to get comfortable with the schedule. It took my body a while to adjust to the crazy schedule, but I seem to be surviving.

I am married to a beautiful wife of nearly seven years. We love to go to the movies and out to nice dinners. We recently had the chance to go to Maui. It was a blast! The Seven Sacred Pools of Hana was probably the highlight of our trip.

This is my eighth year teaching. I have taught grades  fourth through eighth. I love the sweetness of the fourth graders, and love the digs that go back and forth among the junior high students. If they an keep it appropriate, the "trash talking" is a ton of fun! I truly enjoy my job as a sixth grade teacher. I cannot see myself outside of education. This experience of getting my MA has helped me approach my classroom much differently. I am constantly learning. It is great!
