Shelly S Profile Page

 * Grade Level/Discipline:** High School Resource Room at Louisa-Muscatine Community School District. I teach mostly juniors and seniors. I truly enjoy helping the seniors transition into the next step in their lives whether it be college, work, community college, etc.


 * This picture is of the Mississippi River. We live just a few blocks from there and enjoy going boating, fishing and even just walking along the river in the evenings sometimes.

Few Facts about myself:**
 * Fact 1**: I love motorcycles. We own a Kawasaki Vulcan 750. My husband and I enjoy summer rides on it.


 * Fact 2**:I love my cat. Her name is Cirrus and she thinks she is a princess. She was named after the Cirrus clouds in the sky as she has a white shape on her leg that looks similar to a cloud. I should see if I can figure out a way to load a picture of her up on here also.


 * Fact 3**:I am enjoying our first summer in Muscatine, IA. We moved here late last summer right before school began. We have only been in Iowa for a couple of years now. We moved up here from Tucson, Arizona


 * Fact 4**: I have 3 grown children. They are all handsome young men. My middle son is the only one who is married. I have no grand children yet. My oldest is getting married next summer I think. The youngest is still living at home. He is still trying to decide what he really wants to do.


 * What I'd like to learn or get out of this course:** I want to learn more about technology and how to use it to better help my students learn the required subject matter. There are times that I have difficulty with technology, but usually I can figure it out and get what I want done with it. I want to be able to support my students when they struggle with how to use technology to make their lives easier. With their learning problems, they already have enough struggles in life. I work hard to teach them strategies that they can use as shortcuts.


 * My favorite game(s):** Texas Hold'em, Sudoku, Scrabble, Cribbage

My husband taught me to play Texas Hold'em. He brags that I learned to play better than he does. Last year on our anniversary we went to a casino to play poker. He lost right away and I won about 450 dollars. I paid for 2 meals, our gambling and still was about 200 ahead. Fun times!!
