Hello! I am Sara Hadden! I have been teaching for 16 years. I have a wonderful husband, Randy, and two amazing little boys; Phoenix is 9 years old and Dash is 6 years old. They both attend Christ s Church Academy. I have a dog and a cat! I love animals! In case you didn t know, I love your kids, too!

Class Behavior and Expectations: I expect every student to come to class prepared with supplies needed for that day. I expect each student to be respectful of me, my time, and each other. I expect that if a student cannot say anything nice then they will keep their mouths closed. I expect that each student should work harder than I do. I have already taken this course and I know my stuff. So, students must participate. I expect that each student is responsible for their grade. I am responsible to teach. I expect that students phones are turned off and zipped in their backpacks during class time.
