I am so excited to be your child's teacher. I believe that learning can and should be fun and I will embrace every opportunity to instill a love of learning through a range of different teaching styles. I like to inspire curiosity in children and teach them how to think and problem solve.
I have been teaching since 1993. I have been a classroom teacher at 1st-6th grades, middle school science and math, ELL, Science, technology, and mostly 3rd grade.
Our class website is a great resource for both parents and students to know what is currently being taught, access resources, and viewing our school calendar.
Aside from being a teacher my other interests include hiking, skiing, reading and spending time with my teenage boys.
On behalf our the entire class, I thank you for visiting our website and invite you to contact me via email or voice mail should you have any further questions. Email might be the best way to contact me for now.
