Maybe you'd like to know a little about your teacher. If not, just skip this part.
My name is Laurel Smith and I have been teaching for 25+ years. "It can't be! You look so young! " you say. But I assure you it's true.
For 10 years, I taught Music in the public school. Since then, I have been teaching in the homeschool arena and homeschooling my own kids. I have taught every grade and a variety of subjects: English, music, reading, history, geography, science, art. I come from a long line of teachers, and I truly love what I do. My teaching style is hands-on, and I believe that having fun helps the learning process. Expect to have an exciting year!
I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we have four children, one dog, two cats, seven turtles, a frog, and countless fish. I love to read, and my favorite genres are fantasy, mystery, and historical fiction. I like movies, but if it is based on a book, you must read it first! I love Broadway musicals. My top five are Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Wicked, and Hamilton! I have travelled to twenty-five states, four countries, and two continents. I am awesome at Settlers of Catan. I am not bragging; that is a fact!
I cannot wait to meet you and find out about you. We are going to have a great year!
