I have been teaching for 17 years in almost every elementary grade position. I love to teach math, social studies, reading, and writing!

I have 2 wonderful children. My daughter is in 5th grade and my son is 2 years old.

On my own time I love to spend time with my family, sing at church, scrapbook, have tea parties, bake, decorate, and paint.

1st grade is such a wonderful grade because of how much growth the kids make. Not just growth in heighth, or how many teeth they lose and start to grow back, but growth academically! Students go from reading sounds, to blending the sounds into words, to memorizing sight words, and then to the ulimate goal of reading whole stories and understanding the stories! They master addition and subtraction facts. They can write their own stories and they can describe the stories of great leaders in America! 2nd grade students will master all those skills. Be able to tell time, measure, and collect and analyze data. They will be able to subtract and add 3 digit numbers as well as start multiplication. They will read fluently and talk about their reading. They will look at and analyze the weather and maps.

My goal is to help each student's first and second grade year be fun, engaging, and productive. It is also my goal to help you navigate through this 1st and 2nd grade year and through standards based learning so that you can help your student in their learning growth too.
