I am so excited to be your child's teacher- we are going to  

I  LOVE teaching third grade and working individually and collaboratively with the students. Third grade is a year of transition and growth where the children become more responsible for their learning.  I spent many years teaching first graders how to read and now I have the opportunity to teach third graders how to use their reading to learn.  In my free time, I love to hang out with my husband Brian and my dog Barney, as well as reading, shopping, and Starbucks.  My husband and I also enjoy gardening and traveling to the desert.
