Welcome to my blog. I love to communicate...especially if it gives parents a step up on the homework battle. I teach 7th grade Math and 7th grade Block (Language Arts and Social Studies). This year I will also each a 6th grade Enrichment class that includes study skills, organization, a class novel, and a service learning project. More on that later.
My true loves are reading, writing and getting kids to trust their ability to pick up on concepts that they have heretofore written off. I hear it all the time, "I'm no good at_____. I'll never get it!". It's a joy to see them catch on in spite of their fears.
My background and hobbies include art businesses, sales, theatre (always a good tool in a middle school classroom!), gardening, singing in my husband's garage band, two adult children (one currently teaching Math at Forest Grove High School), and writing to intrigue.
Please feel free to contact me at my 4j email: schmieding_p@4j.lane.edu. It's the best way to get a speedy response.
