Caravan Sonnet Classroom

COLORFUL. CREATIVE. EDUCATIONAL. With 10+ years of teaching experience at the High School and College Level, I am your biggest cheerleader. Make this the best year yet... an uncommon year with with ready to use cozy luxury teacher resources that engage your students & help accomplish your goals. These words are the heart behind Caravan Sonnet Classroom. I believe that personal finance, history, and government are the greatest teacher for students as these subjects provide lessons and real-life examples of how the decisions we make can affect the legacy we leave. I will never stop trying to foster creativity and critical thinking in my classroom, alongside the requirements of test standards. In doing so I believe that this prepares students for not only the present as students, but as a foundation for their lives in college and beyond.
