Meet Your Teacher - Mrs. Fine

I know that most of you are very curious about me since we will be working in history for the rest of the year.  Therefore, I would like to take this time to introduce myself. 
 
I have taught history here at Beverly since 1999, as well as Latin for 5 years, and I am currently teaching World History and Media Literacy and coaching the Academic Decathlon team.  Previous to teaching here, I taught Latin and history at an all-girls high school in New Orleans for 4 years.  In 2003, I earned my Master's Degree in Education with a focus on Technology in the Classroom from Walden University.  I earned my Bachelor's degree in Latin and History, with a certification in Education, from Butler University in Indianapolis.  Before that, I lived in Connecticut and Michigan.  I have also traveled to Turkey, Italy, and Greece (I would encourage all of you to travel inside and outside the country if you have the chance - it is a wonderful experience!).
 
I have a husband, Keith, who likes to build our house, two sons, Max and Jack, and an energetic husky-shepherd named Cleopatra!  I look forward to working with all of you this semester and wish you much success in all your endeavors!
 
Yes, I do have Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, but I will not "friend" any students until they graduate! Please understand that you will either be ignored or kept in a holding pattern until that time.
