Biography:

Hi everyone!  I am so excited for my 6th year at McEachern.  I graduated from UGA, spent some time studying abroad in Spain and earned my teaching certification from UWG.  I love football and especially the Georgia Bulldogs.  

While at McEachern, I have taught over 1000 students in Spanish 1 and Spanish 2.  I am also one of the Head Cheerleading Coaches here.  I mainly work with the Varsity Competition and JV Basketball squads. 

 
 
My husband, Patrick, is the Director of Bands at the “other” high school in Powder Springs.  We have two young sons, Will and Andy.

  More on Carnaval.
Here is the exact rubric:

The Project:

  • Students will work in groups of up to 3 people, NO MORE!
  • With their group, students will come up with a theme for their float and a plan to build the float.
  • Students will bring in all craft materials needed to complete their float.
  • Students will work in class on Thursday, Feb 12 and Friday, Feb 13 to complete the floats. No floats will be accepted late. No exceptions. If a student is absent on Thursday, they are still expected to turn in a float on FRIDAY. If you are absent on Thursday, you forfeit your option to work in a group and must do the project alone. It is not fair for your group to complete the float and you get credit for it. If absent on Friday, the students must bring their float in on Monday. If you are absent on Friday and are working in a group, your grade will be dropped at least 10 points.

The Grade

  • _____ 10 points – Students work with their group to come up with a theme and bring in all materials necessary to complete their project.
  • ______ 10 points – Students work efficiently on Thursday and on Friday to complete the project. Each time the teacher reprimands the group for being off task will result in a loss of points in this category.
  • _____ 10 points – Execution of project. Students turn in a completed, creative project on Friday. All students in the group contributed equally to the completion of the project.
