Welcome to my Biology Home Page!
Hello! Head Crustacean here, Mrs. MacColl. Welcome to Biology! This is my ninth year teaching in the SUSD. I taught 7th grade Life Science for six years at Cocopah Middle School. This is my third year at Chaparral High School. Before drifting to Scottsdale, Arizona, I taught in Hayward's Heath, England.
I was hatched, raised and molted my exoskeleton many times in Manchester, Connecticut. I then migrated to Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York where I received my B.S. (Bachelor in Science, not Best Swimmer) in Biology and Psychology. After graduating I swam off to Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona where I received my MA. Ed in Curriculum and Instruction. I have not finished molting as of yet; I am working towards my Doctorate degree in Science Education at ASU.
When I am not teaching, and can get out of my aquarium, my ten appendages enjoy playing soccer, camping, hiking, running, cycling, swimming, painting, gardening, and traveling. I love to get my mandibles on watermelon, mashed potatoes, and Cap'n Crunch Berries! I have no little arthropods of my own, other than my five furry kids Einstein, Boone, Molly, Oliver, and Darwin (they purr) and Loyal and Cecil (they move v…e…r…y s…l…o…w…l…y). And we mustn't forget the twenty or so pets in our classroom.
I consider myself the luckiest Crustacean in all the
pools of water on the face of Earth! I have the pleasure of
working with the best students, parents and staff around!
