Welcome to Mrs. Koonce's Class
My name is Mrs. Koonce. This is my sixth year as a teacher at Liberty Middle School. I grew up in Edwardsville out at Holiday Shores. I graduated Edwardsville High School in 2000 (yes, that was way before you all were born!). I have always loved math, so much so that I majored in math at SIUE. As you can see from the pictures, I have 3 poodles...yes, that's 3! I am also a self-proclaimed math geek and I love my Cardinal's baseball. I am also the EHS Varsity Girls Golf Coach, a position that makes me incredibly proud! I am a third generation teacher. My mother, Ms. Koonce, was at Lincoln Middle School for over 20 years, and my gradmother was Mrs. Koonce, a Junior High teacher from Waterloo, Illinois (coincidentally, also a golf coach). In addition to being the Varsity Girls Golf Coach, I have also taken on the roles of Botball (robotics club) Coach, and Intramural Golf Coach.
My Goal for You
My Goal as your 7th & 8th grade math teacher is to help you to understand and enjoy math class! I know that most people don't like math, I hear that all the time, but I think that's just because they don't understand it. If you understand what's going on, I promise you that math is not that hard.
