Accokeek Academy“I truly enjoy watching students have fun while they learn! I believe learning should be entertaining which I have translated into my classroom where students are comfortable exploring and developing their own understanding of mathematics. I appreciate watching students enjoy math, especially during their “ah ha” moments, which has become a daily reward for me”

“I love teaching because it affords me the opportunity to help my students experience all the joys of learning. Each day is different and allows me the chance to connect with creativity so that I am able to disseminate knowledge in an innovative manner. I look forward to the humbled commitment of servitude in which I get to help my students become what they are capable of being."

“I love teaching because I can quote such words of the following poem without reservation:
One hundred years from now
It won't matter
What kind of car I drove
What kind of house I lived in
How much money I had in the bank
Nor what my clothes looked like
But, the world may be a little better
Because, I was important in the life of a child."

Student Quote
“For the year and a half that I've known Ms. Curtis, she has always been there for me. It strangely feels like we’ve known each other for forever. Without her, I don't know where I would be right now. She helped me get a job and provided me with the skills and knowledge I needed to succeed.”

“I love sharing my love of math and technology with the students. It is great seeing students get that 'light bulb moment' when they get a concept and grow to love math. It is also cool seeing the sixth graders evolve from children to young adults.” |
