My mission, as a Kindergarten teacher, is to make learning FUN and provide each child with a love for learning. I want to facilitate lifelong learning skills and encourage independence. All children have multiple intelligences, and therefore exhibit diverse learning styles. I will incorporate diversity into my lessons. I will provide my students with a safe and stimulating environment, where they have hands-on opportunities to learn & explore. I want every child to become a successful reader and to be able to decode, comprehend words and be phonemically aware. I am pleased to be working with Sierra Rosales. our educational assistant and together, we thank you for sharing you child with us. I know that this will be a great year.
I am so excited to get to know my new students/families and keep in touch with my previous students. My door is always open to past and future families. Here is a little bit on me....

I have taught Kindergarten for 11 years. My kids have all attended Humphrey and loved it. I have been a part of the PTSA and the Coordinator for the Variety Show. I love to run, travel and hang out with my family and friends. I love skinny caramel frappuccinos, sushi, and arugula.
