Name: Brooks Amick
Grade Level/Subject: 3rd Grade Math and Science
Degree: B.A. in Spanish, MAT Elementary Education
Years in Education: This is my 16th year and I'm only 22.
Hobbies/Interests: Baking my specialty cheesecakes and pound cakes, collecting vinyl records, playing with my dog Jimmie (white lab named after my grandmother), spending time with my youngest nephew, movies, and anything that challenges my creativity, such as my house. I just became a grownup last year and have my own home and love doing projects. I love creating an accent wall that is unique to the room. My next two projects are the interior of my front door and my kitchen cabinets. I never really used a tool in my life and now have a love for woodworking and have been really excited incorporating it into my math and science classes.
Favorite Quote: “We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.” -Mister Rogers
