Welcome to Fourth Grade! As a fourth grade teacher my goal is to prepare students to transition from fourth grade to fifth grade with the knowledge, social skills and strategies needed to be successful. This is my eleventh year teaching. I have taught , kindergarten, first, second, fifth and now fourth grades. I have two children, one is working on her teaching degree and the youngest is pursuing a career as a veterinarian. I  have six furry family members, four dogs and two cats and thirteen feathered friends.  I love to explore the great outdoors and travel in my spare time. I look forward to working with my students and helping them achieve their goals.
