About Me

Ms. Lucy
I am both an educator and a student. I love to impart knowledge, but am always seeking to absorb more myself as well. Rather than depositing information into students' brains though, I love leading them to places they find interesting, or demonstrating how to see what they thought was ordinary (or boring) in new ways. Most of all, my goal is for my students to cultivate and persuasively defend their own opinions.
