Who Are We

Mrs. Wyckoff loves to learn new technology, makes a ridiculous amount of coffee every day, and loves to laugh. She teaches a variety of subjects depending on the year and spends a great deal of time trying to herd chickens (aka students) in the right direction. She loves Netflix, traveling, her amazing husband, her two grown daughters, and her dogs. She enjoys finding things that can add adventure into her classroom and give students experiences that are unbelievable. None of my ideas are typically my ideas...but instead tweaked and borrowed from other amazing educators.

Time is disappearing...literally I can feel the sands quickly sliding away with the summer sun. When school starts I never have enough time to get things done.
