Getting to Know Ms. Brown

Since I'm asking you to share, I figure you'd like to know my answers too.

My full name is Abigail Brown-McLellan. My friends know me as Abby and I prefer to use Brown for professional activities. My students call me Ms. Brown. I stopped counting what grade I am in quite a while ago, but I have mostly taught students in grades 11 and 12. Last year was my first year with 9th grade students after a very long time and I'm looking forward to teaching the IM1H class again!

I certainly enjoy spending time with my family, but I do have some hobbies too. These days in particular I do a lot of 3D printing! My favorite things to print are my own designs. I'm sure you will learn more about this from me throughout the year and in the photo with me are models I created for my classes. This summer I rediscovered reading. I need to give myself more time for that escape. Another hobby, though I'm horribly behind with it, is making photo books for family albums.

My family spent a lot of time together this summer and we were fortunate that we were able to spend a few days at Disneyland and later a lake vacation with my parents. These trips are probably the most memorable activities from the summer for me this year.

The things I'm am looking forward to most this year are learning about my new students, exploring more with Mathematica and 3D printing with all of my classes, working with freshmen again, and bringing back the Advanced Topics in Math II class. I also look forward to reconnecting with my colleagues and enjoying the fun school spirit of Torrey Pines. 

I am a Torrey Pines High School graduate and I'm proud to be teaching Falcons! My students generally give me positive feedback about my classes. I am very well organized and consistent, so students usually know what to expect from me each day. I will always do my best to answer every question (whether about math or whatever) and I do not ever want students to be afraid to reach out to me. When assigning work and creating activities, I try to keep in mind how I would feel if I were a student in my class. I love teaching Adv. Topics and Calculus D/Linear and I'm excited to continue my new adventure with IM1 Honors!
