Introduction

 * Name: ** Lauren W
 * School: ** Santa Fe Junior High
 * Position: ** 7th Grade Language Arts Teacher, Department Head, Team Leader

I love trying new things to get my students engaged. It's fun to see their creativity and to let them see mine. Seventh graders are always so honest, so I know when what I've done doesn't measure up. They keep me laughing and on my toes! My favorite moments are when I finally find something to motivate the student(s) who never seem to respond to any other activities and watching those students become interested and create something great.

My Favorite Things

 * Movies & Television Shows **
 * // The Princess Bride - // I can quote the entire movie! (The book is pretty good, too.)
 * // The Big Bang Theory - Smartest and funniest show on T.V. //
 * // Cash Cab // - Who wouldn't love a game show that takes place in a taxi in New York City?


 * Books **
 * ** Anything by C. S. Lewis - fiction or non-fiction **
 * ** // The Princess Bride // by William Goldman **


 * Food **
 * Strawberry Shortcake (Fresh strawberries only! No fake strawberry syrup allowed!)
 * Chips and Salsa (Not chunky picante sauce! The real thing!)
 * Chocolate Chip Cookies and Milk
 * Italian Cream Cake
 * My dad's grilled chicken and mashed potatoes
 * Fruit (Pretty much any kind)
 * Places to Travel or Places I've Been but Want Explore Even More **
 * Bulgaria (I miss it so much!)
 * Greece
 * England
 * France
 * Washington, D. C. (I've been there a lot, but still feel like I haven't seen it all. )

Burning Questions

 * 1) **Where should I travel to next?**
 * 2) **When will I be able to travel again?**
 * 3) **How in the world will I pay for it**?
