Hi!

Hi Dodgen Middle School students and parents!

My name is Rachel Bonner and I am taking over 7th grade math for Ms. Simmons.  I am very excited to be starting 2013 at such a wonderful school and hope to make our classroom a welcoming place for students to thrive. 

To start, I would like to tell you a little about myself.  My undergraduate degree is in Business Management from Georgia Tech (Go Jackets!), and my masters degree in education was earned at Georgia State University.  This will be my sixth year to teach math at the middle school level and I enjoy the new challenges each day, or hour, brings.

I grew up all over the place, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma.... but happily call Georgia home now.  My husband and I got married in November and we have a house in Smyrna with our energetic pup, Zuri.  Our hobbies include being outdoors, traveling, photography, and crafting (sewing for me, wood working for him).

Please let me know what I can do to make the rest of the year a great one for you.  Patience would be much appreciated while I do my best to get to know the students, technology, and surroundings here at Dodgen Middle School.

*As requested by the students, I am going to continue "M&M Monday", so M&M donations would be great!
