MC Grammar
My blogs
| Introduction | I was thrown headfirst into the teaching trenches in January of 2009 when after graduating in December, I miraculously found a teaching job midyear. Since then, I have taught language arts from 6th grade all the way up to 12th grade, and I have been both a middle school and high school media specialist. I love lessons integrated with media, creativity, energy, hooks, outside-the-box ideas (even if presented in cliche terms like outside-the-box ideas), and chocolate. As a mother of 2, I struggle to balance my awesome home life and my passion for a job that takes so much more than a 9-5 day. I was given the nickname MC Grammar by students during my second year of teaching when they saw how ridiculously excited I was to be explaining grammar; fortunately, the nickname has followed me throughout my classrooms. |
