Welcome to Room 7
Dear Parents,
Welcome to our Room 7 website. As you peruse the pages you will find lots of information here that will help you to support your child at home and to reinforce what he/she is learning at school. Check out the technology page for online learning; curriculum news page; Google calendar; Photos of classroom activities or field trips; question or the week for a homework pass; and much more........
Let me introduce myself. Teaching is my passion and it is also my second career. I was a Human Resource Manager for a multinational company when I lived in England prior to 1992. I came to San Diego on a two year contract and never returned to the motherland. I decided to retrain as an educator which is something I had wanted to do all my life. It is a dream come true and I LOVE every minute of it.
My philosophy is work hard but take time to have lots of laughs and hugs.
My discipline system is the "hairy eyeball." More information should not come from your child or it means they are in trouble!!:-)
Our classroom door is always open and you are always welcome as long as you are prepared to work and support the learning that is happening all day long.
I look forward to meeting everyone of you who are reading this page. Check in regularly to keep your finger on the pulse in Room 7. The teaching is rigorous and comprehensive and did I mention FUN!! You do not want to behind the eight-ball with what is going on.
Oh if you want to know what brings me to tears then check out the book Sadako and the 1000 paper cranes or click on the flash link below our class picture.

Nessum Dorma by Pavarotti - enjoy and watch the sense of accomplishment he gets by doing his very best work. You can experience this passion too. Work hard my students.
