"Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world." - John Muir
I am very excited to start my adventure at Chesterfield Day School! I will use this space as a means to communicate the learning that is happening in 4-5-6 science as well as spotlight current thematic units, concepts, and the big picture.
A little background about me... This is my 14th year teaching. I started my career as an intern in the School District of Clayton while I worked on my undergrad in Elementary Education. Then I taught two years of 4th grade science in the St. Louis Public School system where I was awarded Teacher of the Year and Outstanding Beginning Teacher of Missouri. Next, I transitioned to an environmental science lab position at the Imagine Academy of Environmental Science and Math. During my time at ESM, I was awarded Regional Teacher of the Year and completed my masters in Elementary Education with a focus on Earth-based education. After all the training and success I had at the elementary level I decided to switch gears entirely and move to middle school science at Maplewood Richmond Heights Middle School. I spent five years at MRH where I was heavily involved in expeditionary learning, sustainability, and adventure education.
I spend most of my free time laughing and learning with my own two children, Hayes (6) and Hattie (3), and wonderful my wife, Carlyn.
