Self-introductions

[Sandra Makielski]

Hi Everyone!  My name is Sandra Makielski and I am a 7th grade geography teacher from North Kingstown, Rhode Island.  I love to travel, meet new people, and learn about different cultures.  My curriculum focuses on the eastern hemisphere so I am always looking for ways to learn about Asia and Africa.  I enjoy hiking, nordic skiing, gardening, reading, and quilting.

Hi Everyone : )

My name is Alma Ochoa.  I'm a math teacher at Sylmar Charter High School.  I've been teaching in LAUSD since 2006.

Outside of work I really enjoy running.  I've ran several marathons including the Boston Marathon and I’ve completed several Spartan races. 

In the spring I took ‘East Asia Origins to 1800’ and I really enjoyed learning about East Asian and brainstorming to create math lesson that integrate what I learned about East Asia.  I'm really looking forward to taking this course and learning more.
