	Teaching
Mrs. Linsley teaches 7th grade Life Science and 8th grade Physical Science. She has been teaching for 10 years plus 5 years working with other math and science teachers in schools all over Massachusetts. She has taught at many different schools including 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math at Munich International School. Also a combined 7th and 8th grade class of math, science, and technology in Massachusetts. Lastly, 7th and 8th grade science in New York. She likes the unpredictability about teaching. She believes that everyday is different and there are always ways to change what you do. She loves to teach middle school because she believes middle school students are interested in everything and that they are emerging as young adults with different talents and great personalities. She actually only started thinking about being a teacher in college. She started teaching because, she wanted a job that would make a difference in the world, and she wanted to feel proud of herself at the end of the day. One good memory she had from teaching is when her students in New York City made a video for her, to say goodbye. It really touched her that she made a difference in their life. She believes everyday brings new memories and things to smile about and that is another reason she loves teaching. If she could teach any other subject she would teach math because so many kids hate it but it is so important for their future.

	Other
Mrs. Linsley was born in New Jersey but raised in Beverly, Massachusetts. When she was a kid she wanted to be the president of the United States. Mrs. Linsley hated Middle School as a kid because her best friends started hanging around with other people and all of the sudden what clothes you wore defined if you were cool or not. Mr. Linsley attended Harvard University. During the weekends Mrs. Linsley usually visits new places, goes on bike rides, reads, sleeps, and grade papers. Mrs. Linsley loves to travel because she always used to go on trips with her family. Also when she taught in Germany she met kids from all over the world who inspired her to want to see new places. One of her longest travels was when after she left Germany she took a round the world trip for five months. Also three years ago her and her sister rode their bicycles across the US. She loved to see everyday Americans, see where our food comes from, and experience small town America. She loves being able to see new places, meet new people and try new food. She believes traveling makes you appreciate your own home and family, but also teaches you respect for other people and cultures because there is so much to learn from other people and traveling gives you that opportunity. If she could go anywhere in the world she would got to either Machu Picchu in Peru, Kilimanjaro in Kenya, South Africa, or Antarctica. Her hobbies are biking, reading, traveling, and scuba diving. Mrs. Linsley has three lizards, and three hermit crabs in my classroom. Her only children are here at Sutter.
