Teacher
I am Ms. Spiering. I will be your teacher this year for math. This is my sixth year teaching math. I grew up in Caroline County and went to Caroline County Public Schools. When I graduated from high school I went to Salisbury University and got my degree in Elementary Education and Middle School Mathematics. I love math and am looking forward to helping you develop a love of math. I have a lot of pets that take a lot of my free time. I have three dogs, a bird, and fish. In my spare time I like to go Geocaching, go bowling, curl up with a good book and read, and watch movies. I am a huge Baltimore Ravens football fan and I make sure never to miss a game.
