Hi, I am Mr. Ritchie and welcome to my Weebly! I studied at the University of California Irvine, California State University Northridge, and Pepperdine University. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Masters of Education. I am honored to teach at Rise Kohyang Middle School because it is a school that genuinely cares about the well being and success of each student.
The 2015-2016 school year will be my third year working at RISE. I am excited to be teaching 6th grade history this year and look forward to meeting all of our new students. I know that our students will continue to thrive and I am thrilled to teach at a school that facilitates so much growth.
When you enter my classroom you get to take on the role of an investigator. Our job will be to use various resources and artifacts collected throughout history to better understand the past, ourselves, and what we want out of our future. One of the reasons we must learn from the past is to gain new perspective on current events, as well as to understand the role we all play in shaping our world.
I love the outdoors! I enjoy hiking, camping, and rock climbing. One of my favorite places to visit during the summer is Mammoth Lakes, California. I also enjoy painting and gardening in my free time. Another hobby of mine is anything Star Wars related. I build my own lightsaber props and love to read the Star Wars Legends books. I host the RISE marathon team and the Star Wars club. If you have a passion for running and/or Star Wars, come ask for more info on how to join these awesome clubs.
