Welcome to Steel-High 8th Grade U.S. History! This is my 2nd full year teaching. Before becoming a teacher, I was a bookseller, adventurer, mad scientist, amateur philologist, writer of rhymes, and closet musician--though not necessarily in that order. Ask me about my All in One Minute, All-in-One, Minute Museum.
