A Little About Me!
This is my 16th year in the teaching profession. This is my 8th year at SSHS. I always wanted to be a teacher. I graduated from Miller Grove High School in 1989 and from East Texas State University (presently known as Texas A&M-Commerce) in 1994 with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Business Administration. I have three children ages 22, 4, and 2. My husband works for Commerce ISD.

Class Introduction Assignment (Your first assignment.)
​Now I want to learn a little about you.


 * 1) Go to the //**Discussion**// tab at the top of this page and select the "Introduce Yourself" subject. Read the instructions and then respond no later than Wednesday, August 25.
 * 2) Create a "word cloud" to describe yourself [|Wordle] . You can click on the video at the bottom of this page for a video illustrating the instructions for this assignment.
 * Use as many words as you can to describe who you are. Use your first name **only** as part of the text. If you will type in your first name several times, Wordle will increase the size of your first name--so it stands out. Also type the text BIM-(class period) with no spaces several times.
 * Once you have all the words/phrases that describe you typed in, click Go. You can use the Layout, Font, and Color tabs to change the look ofyour wordle.
 * Last step, click Save to Public Gallery. You will see a code at the bottom of the image. Copy this code (highlight it and hold down Ctrl + C). Go to the Class Intros Page. Click Edit then in the Editor at the top of the page, click Widget and choose Other. Copy the code into the box at the bottom and click Save. Try to move the image below the heading for the class that you are in.
