Introduction!

Hello! My name is Julie Gonçalves and I am a 6th-grade math and science teacher in North Providence, RI. I have a twitter where I occasionally tweet things about what's going in the classroom if you'd like to check it out.  I just finished my course work for the Advanced Studies in Teaching and Learning program at RIC with our Digital Media Literacy class being my last class before officially completing my masters! It was definitely an interesting experience presenting my graduate symposium via zoom!

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my (very Portuguese🙂) family especially my five-year-old nephew, Michael Jr., and my one-year-old niece, Grace. Michael jr says I'm a "mini adult" because I play like a little kid (also not very tall) and if he needs anything he knows I will help him. I love to play and be silly with these kiddos. My journey as a fun aunt or "Titi" has been very successful.

I also play on a co-ed soccer team with my brother Mike and fiance every Sunday. The league is on hold right now but I'm hoping when things open up we can get back on the field.

Lastly, I got engaged this past August and currently planning the wedding for September! A lot of things are in the air but we are happy and staying positive with all the craziness!

I am very excited to see what happens in this class!
