Know Your Rights!

 


This is Angelina Jolie's tattoo.  I LOVE it!  Know Your Rights!  People in a position of authority are hoping you do not know your rights!  Educate yourself!

We are the CHAMPIONS!!!

 Booker T won All City on Friday, August 23, 2024!!!!  I am so GLAD I teach at Booker T!







You CAN Learn from History!

 



This week we completed our first Anticipation Guide for Unit 3.  The first statemen to agree or disagree with was "A Government should pay attention to their citizens."  It made my teacher heart so HAPPY.  Everyone Strongly Agreed.  

I got present to after completing this 6 times on Wednesday I was talking about the colonists.  The colonists felt King George III was not paying attention to them so they declared their Independence.  They were upset about unfair taxes and no representation in Parliament.  People in charge should realize that the little guy can only take it for so long before they do something.  The colonist broke away and became Americans!

I Bleed Black and Orange

 




It is my 20th year at the Hive!  I bleed black and orange!!!!  I started working at the Hive in 2005. Feels like yesterday, but was so long ago!  Here are some of the reasons I love Booker T:

1. The Pride and the Tradition

This is Miss Hornet and I from last year.  She was in my class, and I ADORE her!  I LOVE the traditions of Booker T!  I am so glad teachers cannot vote in Mr. and Miss Hornet.  I usually know all the candidates, and love them all!


Last year my fifth hour won door decorating contest!  We were so happy!

I love Homecoming and Spirit Weeks, and dressing up!  My wardrobe is all black and orange!  This Homecoming 2013!  I love that students participate and go all out!  That really impressed me as a teacher!

2. Being a Class Sponsor - Class of 2010
The 2010 Nominees for Mr. and Miss Hornet Fall 2009

My 2nd year I became the Class Sponsor of 2010.  Being involved with Booker T is good for students and teachers!  Royce Anderson was Mr. Hornet, and TPS made a video about him.  Listen to his advice to future Hornets!  I completely agree!  Be involved - it deepens your love for Booker T!


Being the Class Sponsor of the Class of 2010 was the best decision ever!  I got to know them, and 11 years later we had a mini reunion, and the love was still there!  They will always have my heart!

3. I took students to Europe 3 Times
Paris 2007
Paris 2007
Rome 2008

I have done 3 trips to Europe with Booker T. students!  I am such an advocate for traveling!  See the world - the world is so much bigger than Tulsa, OK!!!  It was pure joy showing them the world!  

4. Supporting Students


Booker T students are rock stars!  I ADORE you!  I would move mountains for you!  Love watching you guys grow and learn!  I truly enjoy coming to school every day!  I have the best JOB on the planet!!

Class of 2024 - I will miss these two so much!!!!  They were in my APUSH class when they were sophomores.
Class of 2024 - I will miss seeing him in the halls saying hello!
Class of 2015 - These two have my heart!
2023 - Cheering on my APUSH Students before the Exam started.
This amazing girl was in my Advisory for 4 years!  So happy for her!
This was the NSU Graduation - Spring 2023.  I adore this girl to the moon and back!  So when she invited me to her college graduation - of course I said yes!  Her future is SO BRIGHT!!!
