About Mrs. Dale

Good day!  My name is Tara Dale and I'm the science teacher on 7B.  I have been married to Joe (Mr. Dale) for 9 years and we have 2 children.  Joshua is 6-years-old and Sami is 3-years-old.  Joe and I also have 2 dogs: Lizzy and Kipper.

I attended Pueblo Middle School and afterwards graduated from Corona del Sol High School in Tempe in 1993.  I graduated from ASU in 1999 with 2 Bachelors degrees: BS in Psychology and BS in Biology (pre-med).  In April 2007, I achieved my Masters from University of Phoenix in Secondary Education and I am certified and highly qualified to teach science in Arizona.  In May 2009 I was honored with Kyrene's Educator of the Year award.

Joe and I love trying new things and we really are just two big kids.  For example, we've been skydiving and we have an arcade in our house.  We have 39 games in one cabinet in addition to Golden Tee 2K, Funhouse Pinball, a foosball table, an air hockey table, a 10-person poker table, a soft tip dart board, and a steel tip dart board.

                   

Last summer I spent one week at NASA's space camp in Huntsville, Alabama.  This is where they built all the rockets (Saturn V) that sent the astronauts to the moon.  Here is a picture of us simulating a space shuttle launch.  I'll show you the rest of my pictures in class when we study astronomy during the second quarter.
