America is a melting pot of many groups of citizens, some who have come to find the freedoms the "New World" offered, and some who have come against their will. All have had great influence on our way of life.
It is important that we know and understand the contributions to medicine, architecture, literature, the Arts, war efforts, and betterments of our society by African Americans, many of who first came to this country as slaves. Studying Black History will give you an understanding of the many hardships faced and overcome by this group of citizens in the United States.

Like most of you reading this profile, I am a lover of children, a care-giver, and a dedicated teacher. I spent 32 years in the classroom before retiring several years ago. During my tenure as a teacher in the elementary grades, I was on a myriad of writing committees, including those that developed the benchmarks for the district. As a literacy coach, I was able to present at both local and state levels at both the Reading and Math conferences. I co-authored a book, Beyond Book Buddies, by Corwin Press. I have also written for the internet and been a critical reader for both Scott Foresman and Corwin Press. As a teacher I wrote and received many grants at both the state and local level. During these last years, I have been writing units of study for my daughter who teaches in Texas. She has been able to use and adapt them for her Special Ed students of high school age, a task for all teachers using units and lessons of study written by others. The method of teaching should be the decision of the teacher and should meet the needs of the students he/she teaches.
