MRS. PETO IS
A NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHER
During the 2009-2010 school
year, I undertook the rigorous process of applying to be a National
Board Certified Teacher. In November 2010 I learned I achieved National
Board Certification! National Board certification is an advanced
teaching credential and denotes a Master Teacher . Teachers
who achieve National Board Certification have met high standards
through study, expert evaluation, self-assessment and peer review.

I HAD A BABY!!!!
On Thanksgiving my husband and I welcomed a daughter, Lola, into
our lives. She is happy, healthy, and absolutely amazing! 
THE MATH DISPLAY
CASE
I have been hard at work
giving the math display case on Trigonometry Trail a much needed
renovation. The display case will showcase math related items, seasonal
decor, and a mirror so students can check their look while learning
about inverses. Please take some time to visit the math display
case as it continues to evolve throughout the year!
WALKING FOR A CAUSE
As you may or may not know, my husband and I are very involved in
the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and have participated in the Chicago
event the past 5 years. We belong to a 7 member team called the
Incredi-boobs (like Disney's Incredibles), we have capes and everything!
Our Avon Walk team has again signed up for another walk in Chicago
2012 in June as well as a walk in New York in October 2012. If you
want to know more about my walk, feel free to ask! It is a cause
very dear to my heart and I am excited to start my fundraising and
workouts in preparation for June!
WRITING SONGS
As you may already know, I debuted my first math song “Distributa”
to Rihanna’s “Disturbia" during the 2008-2009 school
year. Since then I recorded a Trigonometry song “It’s
Triggy” to Run DMC’s “It’s Tricky”
during the 2009-2010 school year. (Pre-Calc students, you might
find this one of particular assistance early on in the school year).
I am taking suggestions and ideas for my next song.
