I am Mr. David Yabu and I am teaching AVID and 8th grade language arts.
I am a graduate from the University of Oregon with a degree in both Sociology and Spanish and earned my Masters of Arts in Teaching at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. Originally I am from Seattle, Washington but I grew up in the Portland area.
When I'm not in the classroom I really enjoy watching and playing sports, coaching lacrosse, exploring the outdoors, amateur carpentry, and reading. I read many different genres and love to discuss which books I currently have scattered around my house. It is one of my goals for all of you to find a way to make what we do in our classroom help you in your life away from school and I am really excited to get to know each of you this semester so we can work together.
