Junior High Teachers: Grade 6 - Grade 8Mrs. Cassandra Gallegos, ELA
Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: As an educator, I believe all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks. I also aim to bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and high expectations to the classroom. Visit Mrs. Gallegos' Website Email Mrs. Gallegos Ms. Lisa LaMoy, Social Studies Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: "Why teach? Every job has its ups and downs, but not every job can change a life." Visit Ms. LaMoy's Website Email Ms. LaMoy Mrs. Hilary Ungaro, Spanish Philosophy and Educational Approach: I believe in each of my students and strive to help them be successful. I enjoy creating an active environment in the Spanish classroom that encourages students to utilize the language. I believe students learn best when they are involved actively in the class. The activities presented will include reading, writing, speaking and listening to the language. Visit Mrs. Ungaro's website Email Mrs. Ungaro Mrs. Donna Biggie, Religion Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: All of my students are a unique and precious gift from God. I strive to create a learning environment where students feel comfortable, secure, and are challenged to expand their knowledge. Spanish speaking, reading, and writing skills will be taught. In addition, students will be introduced to and foster an appreciation of Hispanic culture. The ability to communicate in a language other than English prepares students to be high school, college, and career ready in our diverse world. Visit Mrs. Biggie's Website Email Mrs. Biggie Mrs. Kris Whelan, Science Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: I believe that a teacher should act as a guide to the amazing world in which we live and that the classroom should be a safe, judgement-free environment that will stimulate learning. All students can learn. They may learn in different ways and at different rates, but they can learn, nonetheless. In my classes, I promote an open, risk-free atmosphere so that the students are not afraid to ask questions or respond during discussions. I also believe that it is important to demonstrate the connections between subject areas. I bring in history, math, religion, geography, literature and art into my science classes and also expect students to adhere to standard writing rules in lab reports and written work. My goal is for students to embrace learning and become life-long learners no matter where their paths may take them. I also want students to learn how to ask the right questions. They should not be expected to have the exact same questions as others. In my inquiry based science class, the students will become familiar with experimental design. They will formulate research questions and will design experiments that will answer those questions. They will learn that sometimes, a hypothesis is “wrong” and that it’s ok if it is. They will learn problem solving skills that will help them think critically, no matter what subject they may be studying. Students will learn that REAL science is not done from cookbooks and that it is messy, time consuming and extremely rewarding. My students will DO science, not just learn about science. Visit Mrs. Whelan's website Email Mrs. Whelan Mr. Matthew Garozzo, 7th/8th Grade Math, Algebra I Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: My name is Matthew Garozzo. This will be my tenth year teaching mathematics and I am excited to be working at Queen of Heaven this year and with your children. I'm looking forward to doing some math projects this year that really demonstrates the curriculum and help to keep the students engaged and help further their understanding. I have high expectations of my students and realize that math can be very frustrating at different times for different students, and I take great pride and joy in proving to students that they are capable of tackling any problem when enough effort is put in. Visit Mr. Garozzo's website Email Mr. Garozzo Mrs. Sally Manley, 6th Grade Math Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: "When we teach our children moral and spiritual integrity, we give them foundations of strength and wisdom to face any issue that may come up in their lives."
